Distributed Traffic Control Quota Allocation via Management Node
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In distributed networking environments, managing network resources effectively to prevent congestion and ensure efficient utilization is challenging due to the need for reasonable traffic control schemes, especially when dealing with many-to-one communication scenarios.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for traffic control in a distributed system, where a management node acquires node identifiers and resource identifiers to determine resource control nodes, which then allocate and adjust traffic control quotas based on configuration and usage quotas, ensuring balanced resource utilization through synchronization of resource control data.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If traffic control is implemented in a distributed system with many-to-one networking, then resource utilization improves, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the distributed system into multiple traffic control nodes, each responsible for specific resources. The management node divides resource management tasks among multiple traffic control nodes, allowing parallel processing and reducing the complexity burden on any single node while improving overall resource utilization through distributed control.
Solution Approach 2:
The management node acts as an intermediary between resources and traffic control nodes. It acquires node identifiers and resource identifiers, determines which traffic control node controls which resource, and coordinates the allocation of configuration quotas. This intermediary layer simplifies the many-to-one networking complexity by providing a centralized coordination point.
2Productivity
If traffic control quotas are dynamically adjusted, then resource allocation efficiency improves, but control precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms where traffic control nodes report their status and resource usage to the management node. The management node receives this feedback, analyzes the current state, and dynamically adjusts configuration quotas accordingly. This closed-loop control system improves resource allocation efficiency while maintaining appropriate control precision through continuous monitoring and adjustment.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts traffic control quotas based on real-time conditions. The management node can modify configuration quotas for traffic control nodes according to changing resource demands and system states. This dynamic adjustment capability improves resource allocation efficiency while the systematic approach to quota management ensures adequate control precision.
3Reliability
If multiple traffic control nodes are deployed, then system reliability improves, but coordination difficulty increases
Solution Approach 1:
The management node performs multiple functions: acquiring node identifiers, acquiring resource identifiers, determining resource control node assignments, and coordinating quota allocations. This universal coordinator handles all coordination tasks for multiple traffic control nodes, improving system reliability through redundancy while managing coordination difficulty through a unified approach.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses identifier copies and references to manage multiple traffic control nodes. The management node maintains copies of node identifiers and resource identifiers, creating a mapping structure that simplifies coordination. Each traffic control node can be identified and managed through these copied references, reducing the complexity of direct node-to-node coordination while maintaining high reliability through distributed deployment.
