1. A user plane information reporting method, comprising:
obtaining, by a session management network element, parameter information, wherein the parameter information is used by the session management network element to indicate a first communications apparatus to report user plane information when a reporting condition is met;
initiating, by the session management network element, establishment of a dedicated tunnel between the first communications apparatus and a second communications apparatus, wherein the dedicated tunnel is used to transmit the user plane information; and
sending, by the session management network element, a first rule to the first communications apparatus based on the parameter information, wherein the first rule indicates the first communications apparatus to send a packet to the second communications apparatus through the dedicated tunnel when the reporting condition is met, and each packet received through the dedicated tunnel indicates to the second communications apparatus that the received packet includes the user plane information reported by the first communications apparatus.
