Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional DNS parsing lines have a single and inflexible configuration mode that fails to provide effective coverage for small-scale operators, leading to increased network delays.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for configuring network lines that include obtaining and displaying configuration information, querying priorities, and writing into a mapping table to enhance flexibility and accuracy, combined with a method for scheduling network requests based on operator and geographic location information to optimize network coverage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a single and inflexible configuration mode is used for DNS parsing lines, then the system structure is simple, but the adaptability for different operators (especially small-scale operators) deteriorates, resulting in increased network delay
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the network line configuration into multiple independent dimensions: operator information (first operator information), geographic location information (first geographic location information), and priority levels (target priority). This segmentation allows the system to handle different operators and regions independently through a mapping table, improving adaptability without requiring a completely complex new architecture.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces dynamic priority-based configuration where the mapping table stores line configuration information with associated priorities. The system dynamically selects configuration parameters based on the priority matching between operators and geographic locations, allowing flexible adaptation to different operators (especially small-scale ones) without static rigid configuration.
2Adaptability or versatility
If priority-based multi-dimensional configuration is implemented, then adaptability and coverage are improved, but the configuration and management complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal mapping table structure that handles multiple operators, multiple geographic locations, and multiple priority levels through a single unified data structure. This mapping table serves multiple functions: storing operator-line mappings, geographic location-line mappings, and priority associations, thereby reducing the need for separate configuration systems for each dimension.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements self-service through automatic priority matching. When a DNS parsing request arrives, the system automatically matches the operator information and geographic location information against the mapping table, queries the target priority, and selects the appropriate network line without manual intervention. This automation reduces the operational complexity of managing the multi-dimensional configuration.
3Loss of time
If conventional single-mode configuration is used, then the system is easy to operate, but network delay increases due to ineffective coverage for small-scale operators
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary action by pre-configuring the mapping table with operator information, geographic location information, and associated priorities before actual DNS parsing operations. This advance preparation allows the system to quickly match and route small-scale operators to appropriate network lines without real-time complex decision-making, thereby reducing network delay while maintaining operational simplicity.

AI summary
The disclosure provides a method and apparatus for configuring a network line, and a method for scheduling a network request. The method includes: obtaining a network line configuration request; displaying, in response to the network line configuration request, a network line configuration page, and obtaining first line configuration information based on the network line configuration page, where the first line configuration information includes first operator information and/or first geographic location information; querying a target priority corresponding to the first line configuration information; and writing line configuration information into a preset mapping table according to an order of the target priority from high to low, and transmitting the preset mapping table to a data plane, so as to make the network line corresponding to the line configuration information effective.
