Abstract:
A method for implementing load balancing, an apparatus, and a network system, where a controller obtains a port attribute of each port of a first switch in a mesh network, determines, according to the port attribute of each port of the first switch, a virtual routing and forwarding instance corresponding to each port of the first switch, where all user-side ports of the first switch correspond to a first virtual routing and forwarding instance, generates a forwarding table of the first switch according to a topology of the mesh network and the virtual routing and forwarding instance corresponding to each port of the first switch, where a first forwarding entry of the forwarding table includes the first virtual routing and forwarding instance, a destination network segment and at least two forwarding paths corresponding to the destination network segment, and sends the forwarding table to the first switch.

Claim (Index 20):
The switch of  claim 19 , wherein the program instructions further cause the processor to be configured to:\n receive a second discovery message from another switch, the second discovery message comprising an identifier of the other switch and an identifier of a port through which the other switch sends the second discovery message to the switch; and send a second report message to the controller to enable the controller to determine a port attribute of the port through which the other switch sends the second discovery message to the switch according to the second discovery message, the second report message comprising the identifier of the port through which the other switch sends the second discovery message to the switch.
