Abstract:
Embodiments of the present application disclose a load sharing method, apparatus, and system. The method includes: obtaining, by a controller, a load parameter of a target network device; determining, by the controller according to the load parameter, whether the target network device is in an overloaded state; and sending, by the controller, first configuration information to the target network device when the target network device is in the overloaded state, where the target network device is configured to be in a first state according to the first configuration information, and the first state instructs the target network device to delay or skip returning a PADO packet when receiving a PADI packet. According to the embodiments of the present application, not only load of network devices in a network is more balanced, but also a difficulty in implementing network load balance is small and costs are low.

Claim (Index 17):
The apparatus according to  claim 14 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, further cause the apparatus to be configured to:\n search for a minimum value of load parameters of at least two network devices and use the minimum value as a minimum load value, wherein the at least two network devices comprise the target network device; calculate a difference between the load parameter and the minimum load value and use the difference as a load difference; determine whether the load difference exceeds a preset load threshold; determine, when the load difference exceeds the load threshold, that the target network device is in the overloaded state; and determine, when the load difference does not exceed the load threshold, that the target network device is not in the overloaded state.
