Abstract
Disclosed are a method and apparatus for sending a segment routing traffic engineering (SR-TE) policy, a method and apparatus for receiving an SR-TE policy, a network element, and a computer-readable storage medium. The method for sending an SR-TE policy includes creating an SR-TE policy instance by a first network element; and sending an SR-TE policy corresponding to the SR-TE policy instance to a second network element by the first network element, where the SR-TE policy carries path identifier information and primary/standby state information of a segment list so as to support fast reroute (FRR) of a segment list level.
