Abstract
A network slice creation method and apparatus, and a packet forwarding method and apparatus are provided. The network slice creation method includes: respectively configuring Traffic Engineering (TE) affinity attributes for layer-2 member links in a layer-3 bundled link, and flooding the TE affinity attributes of the layer-2 member links by using Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP); and then creating, according to the TE affinity attributes of the layer-2 member links and by using a Flex Algorithm (FA), network slices containing the layer-2 member links.
