Claim 2:
3. The method according to claim 2, wherein determining, by the first router, 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, by the first router, 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 status of each router of the at least two routers, wherein M>0, and Ni>0; and
determining, by the first router, that the packet load balancing rule is:
the first router sends 1/(N1+N2+ . . . Ni+ . . . NM+1) of the packets received by the first router to the external network; and
for each value of i from 1 to M, the first router sends Ni/(N1+N2+ . . . Ni+ . . . NM+1) of the packets received by the first router to the ith neighboring node.
