US Patent 11695502 Packet processing method and apparatus, and chip

A packet processing method includes generating, by a processor of a network device, a first encoding task based on M original packets in a to-be-processed first data stream, where M is a positive integer, and where the first encoding task instructs to encode the M original packets; and performing, by a target hardware engine of the network device and based on the first encoding task, forward error correction (FEC) encoding on the M original packets to obtain R redundant packets, where R is a positive integer.
