Abstract
The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a packet forwarding method, a packet forwarding apparatus, and an electronic device. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, by setting up a corresponding outbound-interface-direction-queue scheduling period for the outbound interface on the network device, a number of time slices in the outbound-interface-direction-queue scheduling period, and a length of one time slice, and allocating corresponding time slices in the outbound-interface-direction-queue scheduling period to the outbound-interface-direction queues corresponding to the outbound interface, such that the network device can schedule, on each time slice in the outbound-interface-direction-queue scheduling period, packets in the outbound-interface-direction queue corresponding to the time slice. This can realize that the delay of waiting for scheduling outbound-interface-direction queues is maintained between the worst delay and the best delay as discussed above, realize deterministic delay of waiting for scheduling outbound-interface-direction queues, and thus realize deterministic delay of packet forwarding.
