Abstract
A multilink-based data transmission method includes establishing separately, by a first device, first tunnels in different types of links in which the first device and a second device have established a communication connection, establishing, by the first device, a second tunnel that crosses the first tunnels established in the multiple different types of links, analyzing, by the first device, a load state of each first tunnel crossed by the second tunnel, and selecting a first tunnel used to transmit a target packet, and encapsulating, by the first device, the target packet into the second tunnel, and sending, to the second device, through the first tunnel used to transmit the target packet, the packet encapsulated into the second tunnel. Correspondingly, a data transmission device is provided. A utilization rate of links supported by a network device can be improved with the method and device.
