Zusammenfassung:	One example method includes receiving network topology information delivered by a topology manager, where the data center includes a plurality of servers, a plurality of electrical switches, and at least one optical cross-connect device. A data flow can be obtained. A routing policy can be configured for the data flow based on the network topology information, where the routing policy includes any one or a combination of the following routing policies: a first routing policy, where the first routing policy indicates to forward the data flow through an optical channel in the at least one optical cross-connect device; a second routing policy, where the second routing policy indicates to split the data flow into at least two sub-data flows for forwarding; or a third routing policy, where the third routing policy indicates to forward the data flow through an electrical switch of the plurality of electrical switches.
