Abstract

This application provides a communication method, a network device, and a system. The method includes: receiving, by a first network device that manages a network slice subnet instance, requirement description information of the network slice subnet instance from a second network device that manages a network slice instance, where the requirement description information of the network slice subnet instance is used to indicate a service requirement for the network slice subnet instance, and the network slice instance includes the network slice subnet instance; and creating or configuring, by the first network device, the network slice subnet instance based on configuration information of the network slice subnet instance, where the configuration information of the network slice subnet instance is determined based on the requirement description information of the network slice subnet instance. The communication method in the embodiments of this application can improve management efficiency of a network slice instance.
