Abstract
The present invention relates to the field of mobile communications technologies, and in particular, to a gateway system, so as resolve a technical problem of a complex network structure caused due to that different network architectures need different gateways. The gateway system provided in the present invention separates a control plane from a forwarding plane. A gateway controller is configured to complete a control function, and may control respective generation of control information for data packets of multiple different protocol types. A gateway forwarding device is responsible for forwarding, and may be controlled by the gateway controller to receive and send data packets of various protocol types. In a multi-standard access architecture, only one or few such gateway systems may need to be accessed instead of accessing multiple different gateways, thereby simplifying a network topology structure, and facilitating network maintenance.
