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 11):
The method of  claim 8 , wherein the network-side port comprises an intra-group port and an inter-group port, all intra-group ports of the first switch corresponding to a second virtual routing and forwarding instance, a forwarding entry in the forwarding table corresponding to the second virtual routing and forwarding instance comprising the second virtual routing and forwarding instance, a destination network segment, and at least one forwarding path corresponding to the destination network segment, all inter-group ports of the first switch corresponding to a third virtual routing and forwarding instance, and a forwarding entry in the forwarding table corresponding to the third virtual routing and forwarding instance comprising the third virtual routing and forwarding instance, another destination network segment, and at least one forwarding path corresponding to the other destination network segment.
