Abstract:
A path computation method and a related device are disclosed. The method includes: a second network device receives path requirement information and a recomputation condition that are sent by a first network device; the second network device first obtains by means of computation a path meeting a requirement according to the path requirement information, and sends description information of the path meeting the requirement to the first network device; then the second network device constantly determines whether the recomputation condition is met; and when the recomputation condition is met, the second network device performs path recomputation, and sends description information of a path obtained by means of recomputation to the first network device. Therefore sensitivity for triggering path recomputation can be improved and a quantity of communication messages between network devices can be reduced.

Claim (Index 17):
A network device, wherein the network device is a second network device and comprises:\n a processor; and a non-transitory computer readable medium which contains computer-executable instructions, the processor is configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to perform operations comprising: receiving path requirement information from a first network device; computing a path meeting a requirement according to the path requirement information; sending first description information to the first network device, wherein the first description information is description information of the path that meets the requirement and that is obtained by means of computation; determining a recomputation condition is met, wherein the recomputation condition is associated with network performance; performing path recomputation when determining that the recomputation condition is met; and sending second description information to the first network device, wherein the second description information is description information of a path obtained by means of recomputation.
