By means of the solution in the present invention, the problem in the prior art of low traffic forwarding efficiency caused by the fact that an SDN switch needs to process a great number of traffic tables is solved, and the number of traffic tables which actually need to be issued to the SDN switch can be greatly decreased, thereby relieving the management pressure on the SDN switch and improving the traffic forwarding efficiency.
