Claim 5:
6. The method of claim 5, wherein the method further comprises:
receiving an upstream flow entry sent by an access controller (AC) in a case where the AP supports local forwarding; wherein, the upstream flow entry is used by the AP to locally forward upstream data messages; the upstream flow entry comprises an identifier of a wireless virtual interface; the wireless virtual interface is used by a terminal to access the AP; and
when an upstream data message sent by the terminal is received, and a wireless virtual interface via which the AP receives the upstream data message is a wireless virtual interface corresponding to the identifier comprised in the upstream flow entry, forwarding the upstream data message to the AC based on the upstream flow entry;, or,
wherein the method further comprises:
receiving a downstream flow entry sent by the AC in a case where the AP supports local forwarding; wherein, the downstream flow entry is used by the AP to locally forward downstream data messages; the downstream flow entry comprises a destination media access control (MAC) address; and
when a downstream data message sent by the AC is received, and a destination MAC address comprised in the downstream data message is the destination MAC address in the downstream flow entry, forwarding the downstream data message to a terminal based on the downstream flow entry.
