MESSAGE FORWARDING METHOD AND APPARATUS, DEVICE, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Embodiments of the present application provide a message forwarding method and apparatus, a device, and a storage medium, which are applied to a network device. The method comprises: receiving, by means of a first ingress port, a first message of a deterministic flow; caching the first message to a first scheduling queue corresponding to the first ingress port; and when a scheduling period of the first scheduling queue is reached, forwarding the message in the first scheduling queue. In the technical solution provided by the embodiments of the present application, a network device, according to differences in ingress ports of received messages, caches the messages to different scheduling queues for forwarding, thus avoiding the problem of end-to-end jitter unpredictability caused by messages being received by different ingress ports and randomly queued in and forwarded from a same scheduling queue. Moreover, since only one message can be received through a same ingress port at a same moment, there will be no
