Abstract
A traffic distribution method and apparatus in a hybrid access network, where the method includes transmitting, by a hybrid access aggregation point (HAAP), probe traffic using a second tunnel after determining that a first tunnel is congested when user traffic is transmitted over the first tunnel, obtaining, by the HAAP, a status of the first tunnel and a status of the second tunnel, determining, by the HAAP according to the status of the first tunnel and the status of the second tunnel, whether the status of the first tunnel and the status of the second tunnel meet an offloading condition, and transmitting, by the HAAP, the user traffic using the first tunnel and the second tunnel after determining that the status of the first tunnel and the status of the second tunnel meet the offloading condition.
