1. A method for ensuring a deterministic latency of a network slice, the method comprising:
receiving, by a first device, a control message sent by a second device, wherein the control message comprises a first gate scheduling period and first topology information, and the control message indicates that the first gate scheduling period is associated with the first topology information; and
determining, by the first device, forwarding path information based on a service-level agreement (SLA) requirement and the control message, wherein the forwarding path information indicates that performance of forwarding a service flow meets the SLA requirement,
wherein the first device is a control device, the second device is a network device, and the forwarding path information indicates an end-to-end forwarding path and a network slice that needs to be used by each network device on the forwarding path to forward the service flow.
