Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing IP data packet transmission methods do not efficiently differentiate and process various types of IP data packets, limiting their functionality and network utilization to meet diverse user requirements.
Innovation Solution
Incorporating a preset field in IP data packets to indicate their type, allowing node devices to determine and perform specific processing based on this field, enabling differentiation between control and service data packets and optimizing their transmission.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If IP data packets are transmitted without type differentiation, then the transmission process is simple, but the functionality and network utilization are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments IP data packets into different types (control packets and service packets) by introducing a preset field in the packet header. This segmentation allows node devices to process different packet types differently, thereby improving functionality and network utilization while maintaining relatively simple processing through type-based classification.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a preset field is added to indicate packet type, then packet differentiation and processing is enabled, but the packet structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the preset field universal by integrating it into the existing IP data packet header structure. This field can be used to differentiate between control packets and service packets, enabling multi-functional packet processing without requiring completely separate packet formats. The approach maintains compatibility with existing IP protocols while adding differentiation capability.
3Productivity
If all IP data packets are processed uniformly, then the processing logic is simple, but network utilization and transmission efficiency are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by treating different packet types differently at each node device. Control packets and service packets receive different processing logic, allowing optimization for each type's specific requirements. This enables improved network utilization and transmission efficiency while keeping the processing logic manageable through clear type-based differentiation.

AI summary
An IP data packet transmission method includes: receiving an IP data packet, wherein the IP data packet comprises a preset field, and content of the preset field is indicative of a type of the IP data packet; determining the type of the IP data packet according to the content of the preset field; and performing, on the IP data packet, processing corresponding to the type of the IP data packet.
