Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing technologies face challenges with low packet transmission efficiency between domains of different data planes, particularly due to non-unified schemes and poor scalability in MPLS architectures.
Innovation Solution
A packet sending method and device that acquire a feature field in a first packet from a first domain, convert the packet into a second packet conforming to the data plane format of a second domain, and send the second packet to the second domain, thereby improving packet transmission efficiency across different data planes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If MPLS architecture uses non-unified data carrying schemes, then existing data indication methods can be maintained, but packet transmission efficiency between domains of different data planes deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a packet conversion mechanism as an intermediary between different data plane domains. When a packet enters a new domain, the conversion module transforms it into the target domain's data plane format, enabling efficient transmission without requiring unified schemes across all domains. This resolves the contradiction by allowing diverse carrying schemes to coexist while maintaining high transmission efficiency through proper format conversion.
2Productivity
If MPLS architecture implements complex data conversion between domains, then packet transmission efficiency improves, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the data plane conversion function into distinct modules: a conversion module that handles format transformation and a sending module that handles packet transmission. This segmentation allows each module to be optimized independently and simplifies the overall system architecture. The conversion module can be configured with domain-specific conversion rules without increasing the complexity of the entire system, thus resolving the contradiction between transmission efficiency and device complexity.
3Productivity
If MPLS architecture uses unified data plane formats, then packet transmission efficiency improves, but adaptability to different data carrying requirements deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic data plane format conversion where the conversion module adapts packet formats based on the target domain's requirements. Instead of using a fixed unified format, the system dynamically adjusts packet structures according to the specific data carrying needs of each domain. This dynamic adaptation allows the system to maintain high transmission efficiency within each domain while preserving adaptability across different data carrying schemes.

AI summary
Provided are a packet sending method and device, a storage medium and an electronic device. The packet sending method includes: acquiring a feature field in a first packet received from a first domain, wherein the feature field is used for acquiring ancillary data information carried in the first packet, and the feature field indicates at least one of a carrying position of the ancillary data information and a data type of the ancillary data information; converting, according to the feature field, the first packet into a second packet conforming to a data plane format of a second domain; and sending the second packet to the second domain.
