Abstract:
A network element selection method and a network element selector are provided. The network element selection method includes: receiving, by a network element selector, a request message sent by a base station, where the request message includes information about user equipment UE and a service chain head, the service chain head includes a session index, and the session index is empty or the session index is allocated by a first controller serving the UE; determining, by the network element selector based on the session index, a controller providing a service; and sending, by the network element selector, the request message to the controller providing the service, so that the controller providing the service serves the UE. In this application, the network element selector is deployed to provide a load balance function.

Claim (Index 8):
A network element selector comprising a communications bus, an input apparatus, an output apparatus, and a processor, wherein\n the input apparatus, the output apparatus, and the processor are connected by the communications bus; the input apparatus is configured to receive a request message from a base station, wherein the request message comprises information about user equipment (UE) and a service chain head, which comprises a session index, wherein the session index is empty or is allocated by a first controller serving the UE; the processor is configured to determine, based on the session index and attribute information of each controller, a controller providing a service, wherein the attribute information of each controller comprises at least one of location information and load capacity information of each controller; and the output apparatus is configured to send the request message to the controller providing the service, so that the controller providing the service serves the UE.
