Abstract

La présente invention fournit un procédé, un équipement et un système permettant de traiter une charge de passerelle de données. Le procédé comprend les étapes suivantes : lorsque les passerelles de données sont normales, un élément réseau de gestion de passerelle reçoit des messages de rapport d'informations d'état transmis par les passerelles de données, les messages de rapport d'informations d'état contenant des informations d'état; lorsque la passerelle de données requérant un équilibrage de charge est déterminée, l'élément réseau de gestion de passerelle choisit une passerelle de données cible pour la passerelle de données source selon les informations d'état, la passerelle de données source étant la passerelle de données requérant un équilibrage de charge; l'élément réseau de gestion de passerelle envoie les informations d'état de la passerelle de données cible à la passerelle de données source, de telle sorte que la passerelle de données source transfère, selon les informations d'état de la passerelle de données cible, une partie des services utilisateur depuis la passerelle de données source jusqu'à la passerelle de données cible. La présente invention peut mettre en œuvre un équilibrage de charge entre des passerelles de données.
