Claim 0:
1. A method of processing a protocol packet, the method being performed by a first member device of a distributed relay (DR) system which further comprises a second member device, and the method comprising:
upon receiving a first protocol packet through a first DR interface, performing protocol processing based on the first DR interface and the first protocol packet; and
sending, to the second member device, a first type packet comprising an interface identifier of the first DR interface and the first protocol packet, so that the second member device determines that the first protocol packet is received through a second DR interface corresponding to the interface identifier, and performs protocol processing based on the second DR interface and the first protocol packet,
upon receiving a second protocol packet through a non-DR interface, performing protocol processing based on the non-DR interface and the second protocol packet, and determining a protocol type of the second protocol packet; and
when the protocol type is an entry-unrelated protocol type, sending the second protocol packet to the second member device, so that the second member device performs protocol processing based on the second protocol packet.
