COMMUNICATION METHOD AND APPARATUS

A communication method and an apparatus are provided, to select an appropriate adaptor to implement that an ONAP adapts to a 3GPP configuration management function. The method is: An adaptor client obtains a southbound interface protocol type, and selects a first protocol adaptor from two or more protocol adaptors based on the southbound interface protocol type, where the first protocol adaptor is used to implement a first protocol. The adaptor client is configured to manage the two or more protocol adaptors. In this way, when an interface adaptor that adapts to a 3GPP configuration management protocol is added to a southbound interface of an ONAP, an appropriate adaptor can be flexibly selected by the adaptor client. Therefore, integration of the ONAP and 3GPP service management can be implemented.
