The present invention provides a method and forwarding apparatus for forwarding a service in a data communication device. The apparatus includes a storage unit for storing a Route Prefix, private data of the Route Prefix and a corresponding Next Hop Array; and a forwarding unit for forwarding a service in the data communication device according to the private data and the next hop corresponding to the Route Prefix. With the invention, different corresponding processes may be performed for different prefixes when the data communication device forwards a service. According to the invention, a novel fast forwarding table (FIB) may also be constituted, thereby not only the updating speed of the FIB can be improved, the memory of the data communication device can be saved, but also the requirement of some special functions that different prefixes need to have different private domains can be met. |
