Abstract

Les modes de réalisation de la présente demande concernent un procédé de traitement de messages et un dispositif associé. Un premier dispositif réseau obtient un premier message qui comprend une première adresse de destination et l'identifiant d'une première tranche de réseau, la première adresse de destination correspondant à un premier processus, détermine une première sous-interface dans une interface physique cible en fonction de la première adresse de destination et de l'identifiant de la première tranche de réseau, puis envoie le premier message à un second dispositif réseau d'après la première sous-interface; le premier dispositif réseau obtient un second message qui comprend une seconde adresse de destination et l'identifiant de la première tranche de réseau, la seconde adresse de destination correspondant à un second processus, détermine la première sous-interface dans l'interface physique cible en fonction de la seconde adresse de destination et de l'identifiant de la première tranche de réseau, puis envoie le second message au second dispositif réseau d'après la première sous-interface. Par conséquent, dans un scénario de réseau où une paire de dispositifs réseau exécutent conjointement de multiples processus et correspondent à de multiples tranches de réseau identiques, un petit nombre de sous-interfaces sont configurés afin d'obtenir une transmission précise des messages entre la paire de dispositifs réseau.
