METHOD AND DEVICE FOR ROUTING DATA PACKET

This disclosure relates to a data packet routing method and apparatus, and belongs to the field of network communications technologies. The method includes: when a data packet of a computation task type is received, determining a first computation task type corresponding to the data packet; determining, based on a pre-obtained first correspondence between a computation task type, other nodes, and computing performance, at least one other node corresponding to the first computation task type and computing performance corresponding to the at least one other node; determining a target node from the at least one other node based on the computing performance corresponding to the at least one other node and based on a link status between a local node and each of the at least one other node; and determining an address of the target node as a destination address of the data packet, and forwarding the data packet based on the destination address. According to this disclosure, it can be ensured that the target node can rapidly complete a computation task and feed back a computation result to a node initiating the data packet.
