Abstract
The present disclosure discloses a method and apparatus for processing network protocol stack data. The method includes: extracting, from a to-be-processed data packet, an identifier used to indicate a data flow to which the to-be-processed data packet belongs; when a pre-generated rule matching table includes the identifier, processing, according to a protocol-stack layer jump processing policy that is corresponding to the identifier and that is in the rule matching table, the to-be-processed data packet on a target layer indicated by the protocol-stack layer jump processing policy. By using the method and apparatus in the present disclosure, unnecessary processing may not be performed on some data packets that do not need to be processed on all protocol-stack layers, so as to reduce or even avoid unnecessary consumption of computing resources and transmission resources.
