1. A packet transmission method implemented by a first virtual extensible local area network tunnel endpoint (VTEP), wherein the method comprises:
receiving a first packet from a first host, wherein the first host is multi-homed to the first VTEP and a second VTEP;
encapsulating a header into the first packet to obtain a second packet;
sending, based on a first Internet Protocol (IP) address corresponding to the first host, the second packet to a third VTEP; and
continuing, when a quantity of VTEPs to which the first host is multi-homed changes from a first quantity to a second quantity, sending packets for the first host using the first IP address.
