<p>A data packet express forwarding method and apparatus provided by the present invention, by determining the same steps in each forwarding process of multiple data packets, and further extracting the same characteristic information of each data packet according to the same steps, and performing express forwarding classification on each predetermined kind of data packets according to the same characteristic information, and then associating the data packet category after express forwarding classification with a corresponding forwarding operation set, and when the data packet to be forwarded subsequently belongs to the data packet category, modifying the data packet according to the corresponding forwarding operation set and forwarding the data packet, can therefore reduce the operation time spent on looking up routing tables, Network Address Translation (NAT) tables and the like, and accelerate data packet forwarding.</p> |
