Abstract
The present disclosure provides an offloading policy negotiation method and apparatus, so as to resolve problems in the prior art that a method for initiating data flow switching by UE has low applicability, and that a network side cannot control and manage the UE, and that user experience is reduced. The method includes: sending, by a first device, an offloading policy to a second device, where the offloading policy includes a default access indication and a routing rule; and receiving and storing, by the first device, an acknowledged offloading policy returned for the offloading policy by the second device, and transmitting a data flow based on the acknowledged offloading policy.
