1. A path determination method, which is applied to a network element, the method comprising:
acquiring link bandwidth data of all physical links within a network slice, wherein the link bandwidth data corresponds to the network slice, and the network slice is created by an interior gateway protocol flex algorithm;
acquiring a required bandwidth of a transmission channel within the network slice; and
determining, according to the link bandwidth data and the required bandwidth, a path for the transmission channel from among all the physical links.
