Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide a method and an apparatus for forwarding traffic of a switching system. The switching system includes a first LCC, at least one second LCC, and at least one third LCC that are interconnected according to a mesh form topology; and the method includes: receiving, by the first LCC, a packet, and parsing the packet to acquire a destination address of the packet; and when the destination address indicates that the packet is to be sent to the third LCC, if a currently preset configuration mode of the switching system is a first configuration mode, bearing, by the first LCC, the packet on a third link, and forwarding the packet to the third LCC, where the first configuration mode indicates that an N-hop mode is currently applied to the switching system, where N is a natural number greater than or equal to 3.
