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 11):
The method according to  claim 9 , further comprising:\n receiving, by the target network device, a load parameter request sent by the controller; and returning, by the target network device, the load parameter to the controller.
