Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If standard internet connection is used for long-distance connectivity, then network coverage is extended, but latency increases and throughput decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces GVN edge devices as intermediary nodes deployed in multiple geographic regions. These edge devices act as mediators between end users and cloud resources, routing traffic through nearby edge devices rather than directly across the internet. This intermediary approach reduces the physical distance data must travel, thereby extending network coverage while simultaneously reducing latency.
2Loss of energy
If WAN optimization hardware devices are deployed point-to-point, then data transmission cost is reduced, but connection reliability deteriorates when internet connection is unstable
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic path selection and load balancing mechanisms in GVN edge devices. When the internet connection becomes unstable, the system dynamically switches between multiple available paths and routing options. This dynamic adaptation maintains connection reliability by automatically selecting the most stable path while continuing to optimize data transmission costs through intelligent routing decisions.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes routing parameters and traffic flow characteristics based on connection conditions. When internet connection quality deteriorates, the patent modifies transmission parameters such as protocol selection, traffic prioritization, and path metrics to maintain reliability. This parameter adaptation allows the system to preserve connection reliability while still achieving cost-effective data transmission under varying network conditions.
3Reliability
If MPLS or DDN dedicated circuits are used, then connection stability is improved, but device complexity and expense increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal GVN edge device architecture that can operate over standard internet connections while providing stability comparable to dedicated circuits. These multi-functional edge devices handle multiple tasks including traffic routing, protocol optimization, security enforcement, and path selection, thereby achieving connection stability without requiring complex dedicated MPLS or DDN infrastructure.
4Adaptability or versatility
If internet connection is used for global connectivity, then network flexibility is improved, but security threats and interference increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent positions GVN edge devices as security intermediaries between users and the internet. These edge devices enforce security policies, filter malicious traffic, and provide secure access to cloud resources while maintaining internet connectivity. This intermediary approach preserves network flexibility by allowing internet access while simultaneously protecting against security threats and interference through controlled traffic inspection and filtering.
