1. A service packet transmission method, comprising:
receiving, by a target mobile edge computing network element, a first uplink service packet from a source mobile edge computing network element, wherein the first uplink service packet is an uplink service packet received by the source mobile edge computing network element after the source mobile edge computing network element receives a second uplink service packet, and wherein the second uplink service packet is the last uplink service packet sent by the source mobile edge computing network element to a source application server;
receiving, by the target mobile edge computing network element, first indication information from the source mobile edge computing network element, wherein the first indication information indicates that sending of the first uplink service packet by the source mobile edge computing network element ends; and
sending, by the target mobile edge computing network element, to a target application server, after the target mobile edge computing network element receives the first indication information, and after the first uplink service packet is sent, an uplink service packet that is sent by a target user plane network element to the target mobile edge computing network element.
