The invention provides a method and device for sending a response message, computing equipment and a storage medium, and belongs to the technical field of network communication. The method comprises the steps that a network device receives a response message sent by a DHCP service device, wherein a destination address of the response message is a first IP address of a relay device, and the relay device establishes a communication connection with a client; the network device determines a first next hop address in a plurality of next hop addresses corresponding to the destination IP address of the response message, wherein the first next hop address is a first tunnel endpoint IP address of the relay device and being different from tunnel endpoint IP addresses of other relay devices of a target anycast group to which the relay device belongs, and each relay device in the target anycast group establishes a communication connection with the client; and the network equipment can forward the response message to the
