Abstract
An OpenFlow protocol-based resource control method and system, and an apparatus are provided, to resolve a problem that forwarding resources are not fully used. The method provided by the present invention may include: sending, by a controller, a resource allocation request message to a forwarder, where an OpenFlow interface is established between the controller and the forwarder; receiving, by the controller, a resource configuration message that is sent by the forwarder in response to the resource allocation request message, where the resource configuration message includes an idle forwarding resource obtained by the forwarder from total forwarding resources; and allocating, by the controller according to the idle forwarding resource, a service-accessible forwarding resource to an already created service on the controller, where the service-accessible forwarding resource is some or all resources in idle forwarding resources.
