Automated CDN Back-to-Source Relationship Management
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current CDN node back-to-source relationship management requires manual modification across multiple cache management servers, leading to increased maintenance costs, time consumption, and error rates due to the need for technicians to update relationships stored in back-to-source configuration files and refresh servers.
Innovation Solution
A back-to-source relationship management system and method that utilizes a centralized server to obtain and adjust CDN node relationships based on a mapping table, synchronizing changes to cache management servers, thereby automating the process and reducing manual intervention.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If manual modification of CDN node back-to-source relationships is performed across multiple cache management servers, then the relationships can be updated, but the maintenance cost increases and the error rate increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the management of back-to-source relationships across multiple cache management servers into a unified automated system. The relationship modification operation is consolidated into a single automated process that simultaneously updates all relevant servers, eliminating the need for manual intervention on each server individually. This reduces both maintenance complexity and error rate by centralizing the management function.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements self-service through automated detection and modification of back-to-source relationships. When a CDN node's back-to-source relationship changes, the system automatically detects the change, retrieves the updated relationship information, and propagates it to all cache management servers without requiring manual intervention. This automated self-service mechanism reduces maintenance complexity while ensuring accurate updates.
2Productivity
If manual modification of CDN node back-to-source relationships is performed across multiple cache management servers, then the relationships can be updated, but the time consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-establishing the automated update mechanism and relationship mapping before actual modifications are needed. The cache management servers are pre-configured with the automated update logic and relationship information, so when a back-to-source relationship changes, the system can immediately propagate the update without manual preparation on each server, significantly reducing time consumption.
Solution Approach 2:
The system ensures continuous useful action by implementing real-time automated propagation of back-to-source relationship changes across all cache management servers. Instead of batch updates or manual sequential modifications, the system continuously monitors and immediately propagates changes as they occur, eliminating idle time and maintaining continuous productive operation throughout the update process.
3Reliability
If manual modification of CDN node back-to-source relationships is performed, then the relationships can be updated, but the maintenance cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary automated management system that acts as a mediator between CDN node changes and cache management servers. This intermediary system automatically retrieves updated back-to-source relationship information from CDN nodes and distributes it to all relevant cache management servers, ensuring accurate updates while reducing the complexity of manual coordination across multiple servers.
4Productivity
If automated adjustment and synchronization of CDN node relationships is implemented, then maintenance costs are reduced and efficiency is enhanced, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The automated management system implements multi-functionality by consolidating multiple tasks into a single universal platform. The system simultaneously performs relationship detection, information retrieval, validation, and propagation to multiple cache management servers through a unified automated process. This universal approach enhances maintenance efficiency while managing system complexity through functional consolidation rather than proliferation of separate systems.
