The invention discloses a redundant
message processing method and device without repeatedly occupying a serial number. The method comprises the following steps: S1, analyzing a message received by equipment; s2, judging whether the message carries a redundant frame or not, if yes, executing the step S4, and if not, executing the step S3; s3, a truncation method is used for determining a generated serial number, a redundant frame is added into the received message, the value of a serial number field in the redundant frame is the value of the generated serial number, and then the step S5 is executed; s4, judging whether the message needs to be copied to the redundant path, if so, executing the step S5, otherwise, directly forwarding the message according to the original path; and S5,
copying the message to the redundant path. In the method, the redundant frames are not repeatedly added to the message which originally carries the redundant frames, and the serial number is not occupied; the messages carrying the redundant frames are selectively copied to all the redundant paths during frame
copying; and when the serial number of the redundant frame is determined to be added, the serial number can be overturned by adopting a truncation method without logical judgment.
