Abstract
A network device management method and apparatus are provided. The method includes: generating statistical traffic data, where the statistical traffic data includes at least one of data traffic of a port of a network device, a queue status of the network device, traffic of a data packet that passes through the network device, or traffic of a target data flow that passes through the network device; and sending the statistical traffic data to a controller. The controller receives statistical traffic data sent by multiple network devices, and can adjust a path of a data flow dynamically according to a traffic status of each port of the multiple network devices or a traffic status of a transmitted data flow in the multiple network devices and by changing routing tables of the network devices, thereby improving link utilization, and further improving network performance.
