Abstract
A packet sending method includes, when a network element in a serial network receives a to-be-forwarded packet at a previous node from a previous network element, and when the network element needs to send a to-be-sent packet at a current node, determining whether the to-be-sent packet at the current node and the to-be-forwarded packet at the previous node can be superimposed, where the network element is an intermediate network element in the serial network; when the to-be-sent packet at the current node and the to-be-forwarded packet at the previous node can be superimposed, superimposing the to-be-sent packet at the current node and the to-be-forwarded packet at the previous node, to obtain a to-be-forwarded packet at the current node; and sending the to-be-forwarded packet at the current node to a next network element of the network element.
