Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current network technologies face inefficiencies in collecting network performance information, often leading to increased congestion due to the collection of insignificant or unnecessary data.
Innovation Solution
A network management system prioritizes and optimizes the collection of network performance information by assigning priority values to different types of data based on their relevance and the available resources of network devices, ensuring that only vital information is collected and communicated, thereby minimizing congestion and resource overload.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If network performance information is collected comprehensively, then measurement precision is improved, but network congestion increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and prioritizes only the most critical network performance information for collection, filtering out less important data. This selective extraction approach maintains measurement precision for essential metrics while reducing overall data volume to minimize network congestion.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies different collection strategies to different types of network performance information based on their importance. Critical performance metrics are collected with high precision and frequency, while less important metrics are collected with lower precision or less frequently, optimizing the balance between measurement completeness and network load.
2Loss of information
If all network performance information is collected, then information completeness is improved, but resource utilization increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and identifies essential network performance information that must be collected, separating it from non-essential data. This extraction ensures that critical information is captured while avoiding the resource cost of collecting and processing unnecessary data.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements partial action by collecting only the necessary portion of network performance information required for effective network management. Rather than attempting to collect all possible metrics, the system focuses on key performance indicators that provide sufficient insight while conserving device resources.
3Reliability
If comprehensive network monitoring is implemented, then reliability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments network performance information into different priority levels and categories. This segmentation allows the system to implement monitoring strategies tailored to each segment's importance, maintaining high reliability for critical metrics while simplifying the overall system architecture through structured organization.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies different monitoring qualities and intensities to different network performance metrics based on their importance. Critical metrics receive intensive monitoring with high reliability, while less important metrics use simpler monitoring approaches, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining necessary reliability.

AI summary
A network management system may detect a network condition corresponding to a network and evaluate the network condition to identify types of network performance information corresponding to the network condition. The network management system may prioritize the types of network performance information and communicate priority information to a network device. The priority information may include the types of network performance information identified by the network management system and/or the priority associated with each type of network performance information. The network device may receive the priority information, evaluate the availability of device resources, collect network performance information based on the priority information and the availability of device resources, and communicate the network performance information to the network management system.
