Claim 6:
7. An apparatus for controlling a network slice, comprising a memory and a processor, wherein the memory stores a program which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform a method for controlling a network slice comprising:
binding a network slice established in a bearer network on a basis of a quality of service (QoS) requirement to a user network interface or a virtual sub-interface of the bearer network;
receiving a traffic flow of the network slice group; and
sending the traffic flow to the first network slice bound to the same user network interface or the same virtual sub-interface as the network slice group;
wherein a plurality of network slices with different QoS are bound to different user network interfaces or virtual sub-interfaces, and when a first network slice of the bearer network and a network slice group of a non-bearer network are bound to a same user network interface or a same virtual sub-interface, QoS of the first network slice is same as QoS of the network slice group; and
wherein the step of sending the traffic flow to the first network slice bound to the same user network interface or the same virtual sub-interface as the network slice group comprises:
determining the virtual sub-interface bound to the network slice group according to a virtual local area network information carried in the traffic flow and the user network interface receiving the traffic flow, and
sending the traffic flow to the first network slice bound to the same virtual sub-interface as the network slice group.
