Dynamic XML Links for Network Hop Reduction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing XML routing networks face performance bottlenecks and delays due to the number of XML router hops, which can lead to congestion and reduced network throughput.
Innovation Solution
The implementation of dynamic XML links between non-directly connected XML routers to reduce the number of hops, allowing for traffic engineering and the creation of shortcuts to bypass congested nodes, thereby minimizing delays and increasing network scalability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of time
If static XML links are used between XML routers, then network topology is stable and easy to manage, but the number of router hops increases causing delay and performance bottlenecks
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by transitioning from static XML links to dynamic XML links. The dynamic links are established on-demand between XML routers based on actual traffic patterns and subscription requirements, allowing the network topology to adapt dynamically. This reduces the number of hops for high-priority traffic while maintaining manageable complexity through automated link establishment and teardown based on traffic conditions.
2Productivity
If dynamic XML links are established between non-neighbor routers, then network throughput increases and delay decreases, but link establishment complexity and resource management overhead increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-establishing dynamic XML links based on predicted traffic patterns and subscription requirements before actual traffic flows. The system proactively creates shortcuts between routers that are likely to exchange traffic, reducing latency when traffic actually occurs. Links are torn down when no longer needed, balancing throughput improvement with resource management overhead.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple dynamic links are established for different traffic patterns, then traffic engineering capability improves, but network configuration and maintenance complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies self-service by implementing automated link management where the network infrastructure itself determines when and where to establish dynamic XML links. The system monitors traffic patterns, subscription requirements, and router capabilities autonomously, creating and tearing down links without manual configuration. This maintains high adaptability for traffic engineering while keeping operation simple through automation.
