Abstract
This application discloses a load balancing method and apparatus, and a device, and relates to the field of network technologies. The method includes: after a packet sent by a server is received, determining whether the packet is a first packet of a flowlet, if the packet is the first packet of the flowlet, determining a destination switch based on a destination address of the packet, determining a weight value of at least one equal-cost path associated with the destination switch in a stored equal-cost path weight table, where the equal-cost path weight table stores a correspondence between the at least one equal-cost path and the weight value, and scheduling, based on the weight value of the at least one equal-cost path, the packet onto a corresponding equal-cost path for transmission.
