Abstract:
Disclosed are a multi-gate expansion method and apparatus, the method being applied to a gateway. The gateway currently uses a first virtual machine to perform service processing, and a second virtual machine is initialized when the number of services to be processed by the gateway increases. The method comprises: the gateway setting, as a first address, a next-hop address used when a second virtual interface unit (VIU) sends data, wherein the second VIU has a same service address as a first VIU corresponding to the first virtual machine, and the first address is a next-hop address used when the first VIU sends data; controlling the second VIU to initialize an OSPF sub-process, such that the second VIU uses the OSPF sub-process to publish a local route; and upon detecting the local route published by the second VIU using the OSPF sub-process, forming a return route according to the local route. The method and the apparatus of the present invention solve the problem in the prior art in which multi-gateway expansion consumes a large amount of port bandwidth of an operator router.
