Claim 12:
13. The first router according to claim 12, wherein determining the packet load balancing rule based on the topology information and the uplink status of each router of the at least two routers comprises:
determining a quantity M of neighboring nodes of the first router, and for each value of i from 1 to M, determining a quantity Ni of reachable nodes of the ith neighboring node based on the topology information and the uplink statuses of each router of the at least two routers, wherein M>0, and Ni>0; and
determining that the packet load balancing rule is:
1/(N1+N2+ . . . Ni+ . . . NM+1) of the packets received by the first router are sent to the external network; and
for each value of i from 1 to M, Ni/(N1+N2+ . . . Ni+ . . . NM+1) of the packets received by the first router are sent to the ith neighboring node.
