Embodiment Construction
[0022] The following describes the embodiments of the present invention by taking a group of four types of networks, including PBB access, VPLS access, TRILL access, and SPB access, that need to communicate with each other as an example.
[0023] In order to describe the embodiment of the present invention more clearly, the concept of "broadcast domain" is introduced, and at least two heterogeneous network accesses can be mapped to the same broadcast domain. Messages in a broadcast domain can be directly forwarded at Layer 2 according to the destination address of the message, that is, the broadcast domain defines the scope of Layer 2 intercommunication. The embodiment of the present invention allows multiple broadcast domains to coexist, and different broadcast domains cannot communicate with each other at Layer 2. In the embodiment of the present invention, a broadcast domain identifier (broadcast domain ID) is used to uniquely identify a broadcast domain.
