Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing data collection systems require a large amount of network resources when collecting data from a large number of sources, leading to potential bottlenecks and inefficiencies.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that includes a path management controller to adjust the section length of communication paths between data sources and a server, allowing for efficient generation and use of communication paths, thereby reducing the need for excessive network resources.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Speed
If a communication path is set for each flow in advance to transfer data by RDMA, then data transfer speed is improved, but network resources required increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-establishing communication paths for data flows before actual data transmission occurs. The path management controller proactively creates and manages communication paths based on flow information, enabling RDMA data transfer without requiring paths to be set in advance for every individual flow, thus reducing overall network resource consumption while maintaining high transfer speeds.
2Adaptability or versatility
If communication paths are established for each data source, then data collection from multiple sources is enabled, but path generation time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the path management functions into a centralized path management controller that handles multiple data sources systematically. Instead of independently establishing paths for each source, the controller aggregates path management tasks and uses efficient path selection algorithms to create communication paths that serve multiple data sources, thereby reducing individual path generation times while maintaining the ability to collect data from numerous sources.

AI summary
An object of the present disclosure is to provide a system that does not require a large amount of network resources even in a case of collecting data from a large number of data sources. The present disclosure is a system for collecting data from a plurality of data sources to a server, the system including: a path management controller that manages a communication path between the plurality of data sources and the server, in which the path management controller adjusts a section length of the communication path from each of the plurality of data sources to the server so as to shorten a time for generating the communication path for transmitting the data from the plurality of data sources to the server.
