Abstract
The embodiments of the present invention disclose a method, an apparatus, and a system for controlling network traffic switching. The method for controlling network traffic switching includes: establishing a direct link interface, where the direct link interface has an address attribute of a peer node, and a value of the attribute is a peer node address of the direct link; and comparing a border gateway protocol (BGP) next-hop address of each route in a routing table with the peer node address of the direct link, and switching traffic on a route that matches a comparison result to the direct link. By using the preceding technical solution, after a direct link is established between nodes, a relevant node establishes a new type of interface for the direct link.
