Dynamic Traffic Filter for Local Service Cloud Routing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current cloud-based service delivery methods rely on statically configured filter rules, which cannot adapt to dynamic changes such as new applications on wireless devices, limiting efficient data packet routing between wireless devices and Local Service Clouds.
Innovation Solution
A method and system for constructing a traffic filter that selects a suitable Virtual Machine based on the wireless device's and application's identities, enabling dynamic routing of data packets between the wireless device and the Local Service Cloud service provider, using a Local Break-Out function to direct and insert packets.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If statically configured filter rules are used for cloud-based service delivery, then service provider control and network management are simplified, but the system cannot adapt to dynamic changes such as new applications on wireless devices
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic filter rules that are automatically generated and updated based on real-time application information from wireless devices. The system transitions from static, manually configured filters to dynamic filters that adapt to new applications and services, allowing the network to respond to changing user demands without manual intervention.
Solution Approach 2:
The system establishes a feedback loop where the cloud-based service provider receives information about applications on wireless devices, analyzes this information, and automatically generates appropriate filter rules. This closed-loop feedback mechanism enables continuous adaptation to new services and applications while maintaining network control.
2Adaptability or versatility
If dynamic filter rules are implemented to adapt to new applications, then service delivery flexibility improves, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary system - the cloud-based service provider - that acts as a mediator between wireless devices and the core network. This intermediary automatically generates filter rules based on application information, reducing the complexity burden from the overall system by centralizing the decision-making logic in a dedicated service provider entity rather than distributing complexity across multiple network elements.
3Productivity
If static routing methods are used, then network management is simplified, but efficient data packet routing between wireless devices and Local Service Clouds cannot be achieved
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-configuring Local Break-Out functions in network nodes before data packet routing is needed. These functions are prepared in advance with the necessary filtering capabilities, enabling efficient local routing decisions without requiring complex real-time analysis when data packets need to be routed to Local Service Clouds.
