Abstract

La présente invention concerne un procédé et un appareil de traitement de paquets de protocole de tunneling GPRS (GTP). Ledit procédé consiste à : déterminer n premiers paquets GTP à envoyer, lesdits n premiers paquets GTP comprenant la même adresse de protocole Internet (IP) de destination, et n étant un nombre entier positif ; combiner les en-têtes GTP et un contenu dans lesdits n premiers paquets GTP, pour obtenir un second paquet GTP ; et utiliser l'adresse IP de destination en tant qu'adresse IP de destination du second paquet GTP, et envoyer le second paquet GTP à un second dispositif. Le procédé et l'appareil de traitement de paquets GTP de la présente invention peuvent réduire la quantité de transmission de données, ce qui permet de considérablement améliorer le taux d'utilisation de bande passante du réseau.
