Solution Overview

Problem

Current network inspection methods are inefficient and resource-intensive, requiring manual input of command lines for each network device and collecting large amounts of raw data, which burdens the network management device and reduces data validity.

Innovation Solution

Network devices autonomously collect inspection result information based on target policy information, determining abnormal data status and sending a report to the management device, reducing raw data exchange and processing load.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If the network management device collects network data from a large quantity of network devices using command lines, then the inspection coverage is improved, but the inspection efficiency deteriorates due to manual operation requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinspection efficiencyVSAvoidmanual operation requirement
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The network device autonomously executes the inspection task by automatically collecting and analyzing its own network data based on the inspection policy, eliminating the need for manual command line operations. The device independently determines whether to send data based on abnormal status detection,实现 self-service inspection

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The network device pre-processes the network data locally by analyzing and determining abnormal status before sending data to the management device. This preliminary action filters out normal data, reducing the volume of transmitted data and the processing burden on the management device

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Productivity

If the network management device collects network data from multiple network devices, then the inspection completeness is improved, but the data processing burden increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata collection efficiencyVSAvoidamount of collected data
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The network device performs preliminary analysis and filtering of network data locally, determining abnormal status before transmission. This pre-processing step significantly reduces the volume of data that needs to be transmitted and processed by the management device, while maintaining inspection completeness

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The network device extracts only the abnormal network data and relevant status information for transmission to the management device, leaving normal data to be processed locally. This extraction principle reduces the quantity of transmitted data while preserving all critical inspection information

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Measurement precision

If the network management device analyzes large amounts of raw network data, then the analysis accuracy is improved, but the device performance pressure increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata analysis accuracyVSAvoiddevice performance pressure
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSPower

Solution Approach 1:

The network device performs preliminary data analysis and abnormal status determination locally before transmission. This pre-analysis step filters out normal data, reducing the volume of data requiring management device processing while maintaining analysis accuracy through the network device's local evaluation capabilities

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The network device acts as an intermediary that performs initial data filtering and analysis before presenting data to the management device. This intermediary role reduces the processing burden on the management device while preserving data analysis accuracy through the network device's local intelligence

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
