1. A method comprising:
obtaining, from client devices, request messages requesting network slice creation;
creating, in response to the request messages, network slices comprising a first network slice and a second network slice that share a resource object at each of one or more layers in a network slice architecture, wherein the network slice architecture comprises a management layer, a control resource layer, a service layer, a protocol layer, a network layer, and/or a forwarding resource layer; and
sending, to one or more target forwarding devices, first information about the first network slice and second information about the second network slice,
wherein the first information indicates a first resource object that is at each of the one or more layers and that is associated with the first network slice,
wherein the second information indicates a second resource object that is at each of the one or more layers and that is associated with the second network slice, and
wherein the first resource object is the same as the second resource object.
