Abstract
A network device in a RPR network receives a RPR flooding data packet sent by another network device in the RPR network, determines whether a next-hop network device of the RPR flooding data packet is a source network device sending the RPR flooding data packet, and strips the RPR flooding data packet when determining that the next-hop network device of the RPR flooding data packet is the source network device sending the RPR flooding data packet.
