Parent OID Node DNS Configuration for Child Resolution
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In scenarios where a child OID node cannot deploy a corresponding DNS, leading to unresolved OID issues due to lack of DNS configuration, causing parent OID nodes and child OID nodes to be unable to buttress DNS services effectively.
Innovation Solution
A parent OID node performs DNS configuration on services provided by the OID tree, generating a DNS resource record that includes a wildcard mapping name and authorization expressions to manage service configuration information for both parent and child OID nodes, eliminating the need for individual DNS configuration on child nodes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If each child OID node deploys its own DNS to provide resolution service, then the OID resolution capability is improved, but the device complexity and deployment cost increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the DNS configuration authority to the parent OID node, which then provides unified DNS service for the entire OID tree including all child nodes. This eliminates the need for each child node to deploy separate DNS, reducing complexity while maintaining resolution capability through centralized management.
Solution Approach 2:
The parent OID node's DNS is designed to serve multiple functions: it resolves OIDs for itself and provides resolution services for all child OID nodes in the tree. This multi-functional approach allows a single DNS infrastructure to handle diverse resolution needs without requiring separate DNS deployments for each child node.
2Ease of manufacture
If a child OID node does not deploy DNS, then the deployment cost is reduced, but the OID in child tree cannot be resolved
Solution Approach 1:
The parent OID node acts as an intermediary that provides DNS resolution services to child OID nodes that cannot or do not deploy their own DNS. The parent node's DNS infrastructure mediates the resolution process, allowing child nodes to benefit from resolution capabilities without bearing the deployment burden.
Solution Approach 2:
The parent OID node automatically provides DNS configuration and resolution services to its child nodes without requiring separate DNS deployments from each child. This self-service mechanism ensures that child nodes gain resolution capability through the parent's infrastructure, eliminating the need for individual child node DNS configurations.
3Adaptability or versatility
If DNS configuration is performed on each child OID node, then the service independence is improved, but the resource utilization decreases due to redundant DNS databases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the DNS database functionality to a shared infrastructure where the parent OID node's DNS serves the entire OID tree. This consolidation eliminates redundant DNS databases across child nodes, improving resource utilization while maintaining service independence through logical separation of resolution responsibilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The parent OID node's DNS infrastructure is designed to universally serve multiple OID nodes in the tree simultaneously. This universal service capability allows a single DNS system to handle resolution requests for diverse child nodes without requiring each child to maintain its own DNS database, thereby optimizing resource utilization.

AI summary
Disclosed are an Object Identifier (OID) configuration, a configuration method, an OID Resolution System (ORS) client, an OID node and a database thereof. The OID configuration method may include: a parent OID node performs Domain Name System (DNS) configuration on a service provided by an OID tree to form a DNS resource record, the OID tree including the parent OID node and at least one child OID node of the parent OID node; and the parent OID node stores the DNS resource record in a DNS database of the parent OID node. Also disclosed is a computer storage medium.
