Abstract:
A method for allocating a global label is provided, including: receiving, by a controller, a first message sent by a forwarding apparatus, where the first message carries a first label range, multiple labels included in the first label range are a subset of multiple labels included in a label space of the forwarding apparatus, and the first label range is not equal to the label space of the forwarding apparatus; and allocating, by the controller, a global label to the forwarding apparatus according to the first label range carried in the first message, where the global label is a label in the first label range. In addition, a method for obtaining a global label, a controller, and a forwarding apparatus are further provided. The foregoing solutions improve efficiency of global label allocation.

Claim (Index 6):
The method according to  claim 2 , wherein the first message further carries the label that has been allocated by the forwarding apparatus to the first label switched path in the first label range, or the first message further carries an identifier of a first sub-range, an identifier of a second sub-range, a quantity of first labels, and a quantity of second labels, the first label range comprises the first sub-range and the second sub-range, a label that has been allocated by the forwarding apparatus to the first label switched path in the first sub-range is the first label, a label that has been allocated by the forwarding apparatus to the first label switched path in the second sub-range is the second label, and the quantity of first labels is less than the quantity of second labels; and\n after the receiving, by the controller, a first message, and before the sending, by the controller, a second message to the forwarding apparatus, the method further comprises: determining, by the controller, that the quantity of first labels is less than the quantity of second labels according to the label that has been allocated by the forwarding apparatus to the first label switched path in the first label range and is carried in the first message, or determining, by the controller, that the quantity of first labels is less than the quantity of second labels according to the quantity of first labels and the quantity of second labels carried in the first message; and determining, by the controller, that the first sub-range is the second label range based on that the quantity of first labels is less than the quantity of second labels.
