Dynamic Buffer Negotiation for Enterprise Message Delivery
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current enterprise messaging systems face inefficiencies in memory management and message delivery, particularly in handling large messages and maintaining optimal buffer sizes, leading to potential message loss and increased resource utilization.
Innovation Solution
Implementing a protocol for dynamic client buffer management, where the messaging server communicates with clients to determine available buffer sizes and allocates additional memory as needed for large messages, and utilizing a separate thread for message delivery and maintenance to ensure efficient storage and retrieval of messages in both memory and database systems.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the messaging server sends large messages to clients, then message delivery completeness is improved, but client memory buffer requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic buffer management where the server and client negotiate buffer sizes through a protocol. The server queries the client's available buffer space before sending messages, and the client can dynamically adjust its buffer allocation. This dynamic approach allows the system to handle large messages when buffer space is available while adapting to memory constraints when buffers are small, resolving the contradiction between message delivery completeness and memory buffer requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent establishes a feedback mechanism where the client reports its buffer status to the server, and the server uses this information to determine message sending strategies. The protocol includes buffer status reporting and server-side decisions based on available client buffer space, creating a closed-loop control system that balances message delivery reliability with client memory constraints.
2Quantity of substance
If the client allocates larger buffers to store messages, then message storage capacity is improved, but resource utilization efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic buffer management where buffer sizes are not fixed but adjusted based on actual message delivery needs. The client allocates buffer space dynamically in response to server requests and message arrival patterns, allowing the system to maximize storage capacity when needed while releasing unused buffer resources to improve overall system efficiency, thus resolving the contradiction between storage capacity and resource utilization.
3Reliability
If the messaging system uses synchronous message receiving, then message delivery reliability is improved, but system response time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary buffer negotiation and status reporting before actual message transfer. By establishing buffer availability in advance through protocol exchanges, the system prepares the receiving end beforehand, allowing synchronous message reception to proceed more efficiently without unexpected delays, thus reducing the time penalty while maintaining reliability.

AI summary
Methods and apparatuses for buffering enterprise messages are described herein. In one embodiment, an exemplary process is provided to transmit, from a messaging server to a client, a first message indicating a size of a next enterprise message to be sent to the client. A second message is received from the client in response to the first message, where the second message indicates a buffer size available to store messages for the client. The next enterprise message is then delivered to the buffer of the client if the size of the next enterprise message is smaller than or equal to the size of the available buffer of the client. Other methods and apparatuses are also described.
