Mimic Scheduler Protocol Training for Heterogeneous Executor Recovery
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In mimic switch systems, abnormalities in heterogeneous executors can compromise system security if not promptly cleaned and recovered, as existing data backup and recovery methods require significant changes to the protocol stack across different heterogeneous executors.
Innovation Solution
A cleaning and recovery method and device for heterogeneous executors in a mimic switch, where a mimic scheduler determines which executors need cleaning, sends cleaning instructions, and facilitates protocol training through training messages until the executors are recovered to a normal state without modifying the protocol stack.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If data backup and recovery methods are used to clean and recover heterogeneous executors, then system security is improved, but the protocol stack of each heterogeneous executor needs to be changed greatly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a mimic scheduler as an intermediary component that manages the cleaning and recovery processes of heterogeneous executors. The scheduler coordinates protocol training messages and manages the state transitions of executors without requiring each executor to independently implement complex backup and recovery logic, thus improving system security while minimizing protocol stack changes.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements protocol training messages that are sent in advance to heterogeneous executors to prepare them for cleaning and recovery operations. By performing preliminary protocol training before actual cleaning is needed, the system can quickly recover executors without requiring extensive protocol modifications, as the executors are pre-configured with the necessary protocol knowledge.
2Reliability
If heterogeneous executors are not cleaned and recovered promptly, then system security is compromised, but cleaning and recovery processes take time
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the mimic scheduler continuously monitors the state of heterogeneous executors and sends appropriate cleaning or recovery instructions based on their status. This real-time feedback loop enables prompt detection and response to security threats, minimizing the time executors remain in abnormal states while maintaining system security.
Solution Approach 2:
The system employs periodic protocol training messages sent from the mimic scheduler to heterogeneous executors at regular intervals or triggered by specific events. This periodic action ensures that executors are continuously maintained in a secure state without requiring lengthy recovery processes, as they are proactively managed before issues arise.
3Stability of the object's composition
If a unified data backup and recovery structure is defined for the protocol, then data synchronization is improved, but the protocol stack of each heterogeneous executor needs to be changed greatly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal cleaning and recovery mechanism through the mimic scheduler that can manage multiple types of heterogeneous executors with different protocols. The scheduler provides multi-functional capabilities to handle protocol training, state monitoring, and recovery coordination across diverse executor types without requiring each executor to implement its own specialized backup and recovery protocol stack.

AI summary
The present disclosure provides a cleaning and recovery method and device for a heterogeneous executor in a mimic switch, and a mimic switch, the method includes: a mimic scheduler determining a designated heterogeneous executor that needs to be cleaned, marking the designated heterogeneous executor that needs to be cleaned as in a cleaning state, and sending a cleaning instruction to the designated heterogeneous executor; the designated heterogeneous executor sending a normal protocol negotiation message to the mimic scheduler to try to interact with the mimic scheduler; the mimic scheduler receiving the protocol negotiation message and detecting whether the designated heterogeneous executor is in the cleaning state; if in the cleaning state, the mimic scheduler constructing a training message, and sending the training message to the designated heterogeneous executor for protocol training; repeating sending and processing the protocol negotiation message until the designated heterogeneous executor is in a normal state.
