Enterprise Service Bus UDP Multicast Messaging
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing computing systems face inefficiencies in message transmission between disparate applications due to bandwidth clogging, as multiple messages need to be sent across different operating systems and legacy systems, which are often unsupported and difficult to integrate.
Innovation Solution
The use of an enterprise service bus (ESB) with User Datagram Protocol (UDP) multicasting allows for efficient message transmission between ESBs, leveraging a software architecture that provides flexible messaging and decouples service transport, enabling loose coupling and scalable communication across diverse systems.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If messages are sent individually to multiple applications across different operating systems and legacy systems, then communication between disparate applications is achieved, but network bandwidth is clogged and transmission efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple individual message transmissions into a single UDP multicast message that can be received by multiple applications simultaneously. The ESB consolidates messages destined for multiple applications into one multicast transmission, reducing network traffic while maintaining communication with diverse applications across different operating systems and legacy systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The ESB implements a universal messaging interface that handles multiple communication protocols and application types through a single multicast mechanism. The system provides multi-functionality by supporting communication with various applications (web applications, mobile applications, legacy systems) through a unified UDP multicast approach, eliminating the need for separate transmission channels.
2Adaptability or versatility
If traditional messaging approaches are used to integrate legacy systems and disparate applications, then system integration is achieved, but device complexity and integration difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The ESB serves as an intermediary component between disparate applications and legacy systems. It receives messages from various sources, processes them through standardized protocols, and distributes them via UDP multicast to appropriate applications. This mediator approach simplifies integration by providing a single point of control rather than requiring direct connections between all system components.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the communication parameter from individual unicast messages to collective UDP multicast transmissions. This parameter change fundamentally alters how messages are delivered, allowing a single message to reach multiple applications simultaneously and reducing the complexity of managing multiple separate communication channels across different operating systems and legacy systems.
3Productivity
If multiple individual messages are transmitted to maintain communication efficiency, then application-specific messaging is achieved, but the number of messages increases and network performance deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple individual message transmissions into a single UDP multicast message that delivers the same information to multiple applications simultaneously. Instead of sending separate messages to each application, the ESB consolidates them into one multicast transmission, maintaining productivity while dramatically reducing the quantity of messages on the network.
Data Source
AI summary
An apparatus and a method for sending a message from an enterprise service bus (ESB) is described. A message is formed at an enterprise service bus (ESB) of a computer system. The message is transmitted from the ESB to different ESBs through a User Datagram Protocol (UDP) multicast.
