Abstract

This application provides a packet verification method, and the method includes: A first network device receives a BIER packet, where packet header information of the BIER packet includes a first keyed-hash message authentication code HMAC, and the first HMAC is used to verify whether the BIER packet is a valid BIER packet; determines a second HMAC based on a first key and first information in the packet header information, where the first information is used to indicate forwarding information of the BIER packet; determines whether the first HMAC is the same as the second HMAC; and when determining that the first HMAC is different from the second HMAC, determines that the BIER packet is an invalid BIER packet.
