Abstract
The present invention provides a method for receiving information, a method for sending information, and apparatuses for the same. The method for receiving information includes: when a control plane apparatus is capable of managing a forwarding plane apparatus, receiving, by the forwarding plane apparatus, information used for packet forwarding path calculation sent by the control plane apparatus, where the forwarding plane apparatus and the control plane apparatus are located in a network with a network architecture featuring forwarding and control element separation. According to the technical solutions provided in embodiments of the present invention, the forwarding plane apparatus does not need to actively obtain the information used for packet forwarding path calculation before calculating a packet forwarding path based on the information used for packet forwarding path calculation.
