Claim 9:
10. The network device according to claim 1, wherein each original segment identifier comprises a first part and a second part, and wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the programming instructions to cause the network device to:
compare the first parts of the S original segment identifiers to generate a first part of a compressed segment identifier corresponding to each of the S original segment identifiers, wherein a length of the first part of the compressed segment identifier is less than a length of the first part of the corresponding original segment identifier;
establish a correspondence between the second part of each original segment identifier and a compression flag, and use the compression flag as a second part of the compressed segment identifier corresponding to each original segment identifier, wherein a length of the second part of the compressed segment identifier is less than a length of the second part of the corresponding original segment identifier; and
obtain based on the first part of the compressed segment identifier corresponding to each original segment identifier and the second part of the compressed segment identifier corresponding to each original segment identifier, the compressed segment identifier corresponding to each original segment identifier.
