Abstract
Provided are a system, a method and a device for forwarding a packet. The system comprises: an LCC comprising a first LCC's control ether switch unit and a second LCC's control ether switch unit, a first CFC comprising a first CFC's control ether switch unit, and a second CFC comprising a second CFC's control ether switch unit, wherein a control message channel and a protocol packet channel are separately arranged between the first and the second LCC's control ether switch units and the first and the second CFC's control ether switch units. Through the disclosure, the problem that the reliability and security of the cluster-based router may be reduced if the control message and the protocol packet are transmitted in the same channel in the related arts is solved, so as to achieve the effects of forwarding the control message and the protocol packet in a cluster-based router separately and enhancing the reliability and the security of the cluster-based router.
