Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide a method and a device for allocating a packet switching resource, which includes: receiving, by a management plane unit, a service transport request carrying service information, where the service information includes source node information, sink node information, quality of service QoS requirement information, and bandwidth requirement information; determining, by the management plane unit, at least one transport path according to the service information and a preset resource allocation policy, and generating a routing table entry/forwarding table entry according to the at least one transport path; and sending, by the management plane unit, the routing table entry/forwarding table entry to data plane units of packet switching devices of each transport path of the at least one transport path. According to the embodiments, transparent and controllable allocation of a network bandwidth resource is implemented, so that utilization efficiency of a network resource is improved.
