Abstract
A buffer module includes N queues configured to buffer M data streams, where N is less than M. A counting module includes M counters, the M counters are in a one-to-one correspondence with the M data streams, and the M counters are configured to count buffer quantities for the M data streams in the N queues. The control module is configured to, when a count value on a first counter exceeds a corresponding threshold, discard a to-be-enqueued data packet of a data stream corresponding to the first counter, or control the sending module to send pause indication information to an upper-level control module.
