Embodiments provide resource adjustment method, apparatus, and system. Under the method characteristic information of a service flow can be received by a communications network. A transmission path of the service flow can be determined based on a correspondence between the characteristic information of the service flow and the transmission path of the service flow. The transmission path includes a start network function NF and an end NF through which the service flow passes, and a link between the start NF and the end NF. A resource adjustment policy can then be determined for the transmission path to adjust a resource required by the service flow. With this, statuses of all network resources used for performing a service are considered during resource adjustment.
