Abstract
Disclosed is a data processing method and a corresponding device. The method is applicable to a first edge device of a virtual extensible local area network, and comprises: receiving a target message, and determining a target network tag and a target destination address of the target message; determining a target outbound interface corresponding to the target message based on a result of matching the target network tag and the target destination address with a locally stored correspondence relationship of a network tag, a destination address and an outbound interface; sending the target message through the target outbound interface. In an example, a message is forwarded by matching a destination address and a network tag, avoiding forwarding a message as long as the destination address is hit and solving the problem that VMs with the same MAC address but belonging to different VLANs cannot gain access to one VXLAN.
