A method and apparatus for establishing a fast-forwarding table are provided. The method comprises: when a communication packet is received, determining, according to matching rules of services set in a packet processing policy, a target service matching the communication packet; if a fast-forwarding table corresponding to the communication packet is not stored locally, obtaining a preset target priority of the target service, and determining a target resource utilization threshold corresponding to the target priority according to a preset correspondence between priorities and resource utilization thresholds; determining whether a current resource utilization is greater than the target resource utilization threshold; and establishing a fast-forwarding table corresponding to the communication packet if the current resource utilization is not greater than the target resource utilization threshold. With this disclosure, the memory pressure of the network device can be reduced, and the network device can be avoided to hang or restart.

Constructed is a network management system which manages, in an integrated manner, a first communication system, a second communication system and a third communication system passed through by packets that are sent and received via wireless communication between a first device and a second device. The network management system performs information setting to these communication systems for dividing a communication system group, which includes these communication systems, into a plurality of logical partitions each corresponding to a plurality of different service levels based on the management information of each of these communication systems. A logical partition corresponding to a service level with regard to each of the plurality of different service levels is a partition passed through by packets that are sent and received via wireless communication between the first device and the second device belonging to that service level.

A method for processing a data packet exchanged between an item of client terminal equipment and an item of server equipment in a communication network, which the item of client equipment accesses via a first communication network, a first quality of service level being intended to be applied to the data packet. The method is implemented by an item of routing equipment of the first communication network and includes: detecting in the data packet at least one item of activation information of a second quality of service level to be applied to the data packet; obtaining a quality of service management rule according to the second quality of service level, associated with the item of activation information; applying the second quality of service level to the routing of the data packet according to the obtained rule, instead of the first quality of service level.
