Abstract:
Embodiments of this application provide a method for obtaining path information and an apparatus, relate to the communications field, and can accurately obtain a forwarding path for detecting a service packet. A service packet is obtained, where the service packet is a target service packet or an updated target service packet, the target service packet is a service packet that matches a flow rule, and the flow rules used to obtain the service packet that matches the flow rule; an ingress interface information field and/or an egress interface information field is/are generated according to a path detection tag on an ingress interface and/or an egress interface through which the service packet passes. The method is used to obtain path information of the service packet.

Claim (Index 9):
The method according to  claim 8 , wherein after parsing and extracting the service packet according to a path detection untag on the ingress interface and/or the egress interface through which the service packet passes, to obtain connectivity fault management information and a packet characteristic field, the method further comprises:\n when the service packet is a dummy packet, discarding the service packet; when the service packet is a normal packet, stripping the connectivity fault management information, and continuing to forward the service packet; and generating and saving a forwarding path information table of the flow rule according to the packet characteristic field and the path information, so that the forwarding path information table is queried by a network management device or is sent to a network controller.
