Abstract  Abstract

The present invention relates to the communications field and discloses a packet processing method an apparatus and a system so that context processing can be separately performed on a packet by using distributed forwarding-plane devices so as to improve load balance during the context processing of the network packet. The method includes: receiving by an ingress network element a flow entry sent by a control network element; receiving by the ingress network element a packet; performing by the ingress network element matching on the packet according to the flow entry and acquiring a packet on which context processing is performed this time; forwarding by the ingress network element the packet to a processing network element so that the processing network element performs context processing on the packet or forwards the packet to a processing network element for context processing after performing context processing on the user. Embodiments of the present invention are applied to context processing of a packet.
