Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional methods for analyzing network structure deployment are inefficient and unsuitable for large networks, as they require checking each network node individually and are not adapted to the growing complexity of network architecture, leading to prolonged analysis times and increased uncertainty.
Innovation Solution
A process system and method for constructing network structure deployment diagrams using a request module to transmit commands for network flow status messages, a data acquiring module to collect and store these messages via SNMP protocol, and an analyzing module to determine connection relations between ports, utilizing Hadoop-based algorithms for efficient and accurate diagram construction without increasing hardware costs.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If conventional PING commands are sent to check each network node individually, then the connection status of each node can be verified, but the analysis time becomes excessively long and the method is unsuitable for large networks
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple individual node checking operations into a single centralized analysis system that collects flow status messages from all network nodes simultaneously. The analysis server aggregates connection information from multiple nodes in one operation, replacing the sequential PING command approach where each node must be checked individually.
Solution Approach 2:
The analysis server performs multiple functions simultaneously: it collects flow status messages, analyzes connection relationships, constructs deployment diagrams, and verifies node connectivity all through a single centralized system. This multi-functional approach replaces the single-purpose PING command with a comprehensive analysis platform.
2Loss of information
If engineers manually check each network node using PING commands, then detailed connection information can be obtained, but the operation becomes increasingly complex and time-consuming as network size grows
Solution Approach 1:
The network nodes automatically generate and send flow status messages to the analysis server without requiring manual intervention. The system self-services by automatically collecting, analyzing, and constructing deployment diagrams, eliminating the need for engineers to manually check each node while maintaining complete connection information.
Solution Approach 2:
The analysis server acts as an intermediary between network nodes and engineers. It automatically collects flow status messages from nodes, processes the connection information, and presents the results in the form of deployment diagrams, simplifying the operation for engineers while ensuring complete information capture.
3Adaptability or versatility
If traditional network analysis methods are used, then hardware costs remain low, but the system cannot adapt to the growing complexity and size of modern network architectures
Solution Approach 1:
The analysis server dynamically adapts to different network configurations by processing flow status messages from various node types and connection scenarios. The system can handle evolving network architectures including dynamic routing and strategy routing by analyzing actual flow status data rather than relying on static configuration information.
