Abstract
A method for load balancing and packet re-sequencing on a network includes an ingress node that determines an identifier of a destination chip based on a destination address of a packet flow and a forwarding table, allocates, based on the identifier of the destination chip, a channel identifier and a sequence number of each packet that is in the packet flow and that enters a channel, to generate an updated packet flow, where each packet in the updated packet flow includes a packet in a corresponding packet flow, a sequence number of the packet, and the channel identifier, and the updated packet flow is sent in a per-packet load sharing manner.
