Network Device Rule Set Orchestration via Grouping
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current rule set orchestration methods in network devices lead to repetitive and excessive processing, as all service rules are sent to each network device, even though they may not need all services or rules, resulting in inefficient management and orchestration.
Innovation Solution
Grouping network devices based on device information to form device groups, selecting and filtering service rules specific to each group, and performing orchestration processing to create a duplicate-free rule set that each network device can execute, thereby reducing unnecessary processing and improving orchestration efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If all service rules are sent to each network device for orchestration processing, then complete rule coverage is achieved, but repetitive and excessive processing occurs leading to inefficient management
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the network devices into different groups based on their service requirements and characteristics. Each group receives only the service rules relevant to its specific needs, rather than all service rules being distributed to every device. This segmentation eliminates repetitive processing while ensuring each device receives complete coverage of its required rules.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by customizing the rule set distribution according to the specific characteristics and service requirements of each network device group. Different groups receive different subsets of service rules tailored to their local needs, rather than a uniform distribution of all rules to all devices, thereby optimizing processing efficiency while maintaining reliability.
2Manufacturing precision
If service rules are customized for each network device, then service precision is improved, but management complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges network devices into groups based on their service requirements and characteristics. By combining devices with similar needs into the same group, the system reduces management complexity while still maintaining precise, customized rule sets for each group. This merging approach allows centralized management of grouped devices while preserving service rule precision.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates universal groupings of network devices that can be managed collectively while still receiving customized rules. Each group serves multiple devices with similar characteristics, allowing the system to handle precision customization at scale without proportionally increasing management complexity, as the same grouping and distribution logic applies universally across all devices.
3Measurement precision
If orchestration processing is performed on all service rules for each network device, then rule execution accuracy is maintained, but computational load increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and distributes only the relevant subset of service rules to each network device group, rather than distributing all service rules to every device. This extraction approach maintains rule matching accuracy for each device's specific needs while significantly reducing the computational load and energy consumption associated with processing unnecessary rules.

AI summary
Embodiments of the present invention provide a rule set orchestration processing method and apparatus, and a cluster data system. The method includes: grouping, according to device information of each network device in a network, each network device, to obtain at least one network device group; selecting, for each network device group obtained after the grouping, at least one service rule matching the network device group, to form a rule set of the network device group; and sending a rule set of each network device group to each network device in the network device group separately. In the rule set orchestration processing method provided in the embodiments of the present invention, all network devices are grouped into at least one network device group according to device information, a matched rule is selected for each network device group to form a rule set and the rule set is sent to each network device in the network device group, so that each network device receives only a service rule corresponding to a service customized for each network device, so as to avoid repetitive processing and excessive processing on the rule set.
