MESSAGE HANDLING METHOD AND APPARATUS

摘要

The present invention provides a message processing method and device. The method includes: receiving a message from external equipment; encapsulating the message with a virtual local area network VLAN label, where the VLAN label corresponds to a user equipment that sends or receives the message; and determining a virtual home gateway that corresponds to the VLAN label, so that the virtual home gateway processes the message that is encapsulated with the VLAN label, where the virtual home gateway corresponds to the user equipment. The device includes: an interface board and a service board. With the method and device in the embodiments of the present invention, a received message is encapsulated with a VLAN label, where the VLAN label corresponds to a user equipment and a virtual home gateway, that is, through the VLAN label, identification and isolation of the virtual home gateway can be implemented, and therefore, a limited resource can be used to virtualize a large number of virtual home gateways that provide a home gateway function, and a requirement of high performance, miniaturization, and low power consumption can be satisfied.
