Patent attributes
Embodiments of the present invention disclose a data packet processing method and apparatus, and a device. The method includes: if a first data packet is received, determining a first cache queue that is in the first buffer and that is used to store the first data packet; buffering the first data packet in the second buffer if a state of the first cache queue is an invalid state, where a data amount of the first data packet is less than the capacity of the second buffer, and the state of the first cache queue is set to the invalid state when a current data amount of the first buffer reaches the capacity of the first buffer; and if a data amount of the second buffer reaches the capacity of the second buffer, sending all data packets that are in the second buffer to a control plane device.
