1. An information processing method, comprising:
receiving, by a core network control plane network element, a tunnel establishment request from an application function entity, wherein the tunnel establishment request is used to establish a shared tunnel for transmitting data by a terminal device;
determining, by the core network control plane network element, a tunnel configuration policy corresponding to the tunnel establishment request and a group configuration policy;
selecting, by the core network control plane network element, a session management network element from a plurality of session management network elements based on the tunnel establishment request and the group configuration policy; and
sending, by the core network control plane network element, the tunnel configuration policy to the session management network element selected by the core network control plane network element, wherein the tunnel configuration policy is used to indicate the session management network element selected by the core network control plane network element to trigger establishment of the shared tunnel between an access network node and a user plane function network element.
