Abstract
Provided is a message decapsulation method and device, a message encapsulation method and device, an electronic device, and a storage medium. The message decapsulation method includes: a data packet sent by a first node is decapsulated, and the data packet is obtained by encapsulating, by the first node, a data message sent through a first Attachment Circuit (AC). The data packet carries split horizon attributes of the first AC determined by the first node. The split horizon attributes of the first AC include at least one of the following: a leaf attribute, a root attribute, and an Ethernet Segment Identifier (ESI) attribute.
