The invention provides a method and device for detecting the message sending rate. The method comprises the steps that the cache size of an interchanger is monitored; whether the catch state of the interchanger is about to reach the maximum extent or not is judged according to the cache size; when the catch state of the interchanger is about to reach the maximum extent, whether the priority of a message to be forwarded is high or low is judged; the interchanger receives the message or directly discards the message according to the priority judgment on the message. According to the method, the cache size of the interchanger is monitored in real time, when the catch size reaches the preset cache threshold value of a system, the interchanger is marked, the message with high priority can occupy the cache of the interchanger at any time, a message with low priority occupies the cache space of the interchanger only when the cache of the interchanger is not used up, and therefore the forwarding time delay of the messages can be shortened in the forwarding process.
