Abstract:
1. A route calculation method in a virtual network element, comprising: receiving and storing, by a master node in the virtual network element, first topology information reported by nodes except the master node in the virtual network element; performing, by the master node, according to a topology type of the virtual network element, topology verification for all topology information locally stored on the master node, wherein the locally stored topology information comprises second topology information about the master node and the first topology information; calculating, by the master node, internal paths in the virtual network element and weights of the internal paths according to the topology type and the locally stored topology information after the topology verification is passed; and generating and storing, by the master node, an internal routing entry according to the internal paths and the weights of the internal paths and sending the internal routing entry to the nodes except the master node in the virtual network element.
