Abstract

Les modes de réalisation de la présente demande concernent un procédé et un appareil de communication. Le procédé est appliqué à un réseau public. Le procédé de communication comprend les étapes suivantes : un élément de réseau de plan utilisateur dans un réseau public reçoit des informations de données en provenance d'un premier dispositif dans un premier réseau non public, le réseau public étant en communication avec le premier réseau non public au moyen d'une interface sans fil ; et l'élément de réseau de plan utilisateur envoie les informations de données à un second dispositif dans un second réseau non public selon une première règle de routage, la première règle de routage étant utilisée pour indiquer la relation entre un segment de sous-adresse du second dispositif et un tunnel correspondant au second dispositif, et le réseau public étant en communication avec le second réseau non public au moyen de l'interface sans fil. Au moyen du procédé, lorsque des dispositifs terminaux dans différents réseaux non publics effectuent une transmission d'informations de données inter-domaines, non seulement les caractéristiques d'universalité élevée, de bonne flexibilité et de faible coût sont obtenues, mais la sécurité des informations de données peut également être assurée.
