Provider-Specific Message Queues for Congestion-Aware Routing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current messaging systems use a single queue to allocate messages to multiple routing providers, leading to unwanted delays and unnecessary resource usage when messages are rejected, as they do not account for individual routing provider throughput or congestion.
Innovation Solution
Implementing individual routing provider queues for each provider, allocating messages based on available throughput and monitoring congestion levels to ensure efficient message delivery.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a single queue is used to allocate messages to multiple routing providers, then device complexity is reduced, but message delivery time increases due to rejections and delays
Solution Approach 1:
The single shared queue is segmented into multiple dedicated queues, one for each routing provider. This allows messages to be pre-filtered and assigned to specific provider queues based on provider characteristics (e.g., throughput capacity, cost, reliability), eliminating the need for providers to reject messages and reducing delivery time while maintaining manageable complexity through modular queue structures.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by evaluating routing provider characteristics and message requirements before message allocation. The message router assesses provider throughput, cost, and reliability metrics in advance, and pre-assigns messages to appropriate provider queues, preventing downstream rejections and delays that would occur with simple first-come-first-served allocation.
2Productivity
If messages are allocated to routing providers without monitoring throughput, then allocation speed increases, but resource usage efficiency decreases due to rejections
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where routing providers report their current throughput status, message acceptance rates, and congestion levels back to the message router. This feedback loop enables the router to dynamically adjust message allocation rates and routes, maintaining high allocation speed while preventing provider overload and rejections, thus improving resource usage efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The message allocation system transitions from static to dynamic operation by continuously monitoring routing provider throughput and adapting allocation decisions in real-time. The message router can dynamically adjust which provider queues receive messages, at what rates, based on current provider capacity, ensuring both fast allocation and efficient resource utilization without fixed rejection-prone allocation patterns.

AI summary
Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for routing provider queues. A method includes receiving a request of a user of the message routing system to transmit a message to a destination device, selecting a first routing provider from a plurality of routing providers to transmit the message of the user to the client device of the recipient, adding the message into a first message queue designated to the first routing provider, receiving, from the first routing provider, a dequeue request indicating that the first routing is able to process a new message, determining that the message is to be dequeued from the first message queue designated to the first routing provider, dequeuing the message from the first message queue to the first routing provider, and causing the dequeued message to be provided to the first routing provider for transmission to the client device of the recipient.
