Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If centralized management is used to manage each network element separately, then management control is improved, but service processing time increases and efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the centralized management architecture into distributed management domains by selecting network element devices as domain managers within connected domains. Each domain manager independently manages its local domain, segmenting the monolithic centralized management into multiple autonomous units that operate in parallel, thereby improving service processing efficiency while maintaining management control.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces domain managers as intermediary devices between the central management system and network element devices. These domain managers act as local proxies that handle management operations within their domains, reducing the direct communication burden on the centralized management node and improving overall processing efficiency.
2Reliability
If centralized management node manages all network elements directly, then management authority is maintained, but concurrent capability is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the management authority by distributing it to domain managers in different connected domains. Each domain manager has autonomous decision-making power within its domain, allowing concurrent management operations across multiple domains simultaneously, thus improving concurrent capability while maintaining overall management authority through the domain manager hierarchy.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a hierarchical dimension to the management architecture, with domain managers operating at an intermediate level between the central management system and network element devices. This adds a spatial dimension to management authority distribution, enabling parallel processing across multiple domains while preserving centralized coordination.
3Ease of operation
If centralized management processes all service requests, then unified control is achieved, but service processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by having domain managers pre-process and handle routine management operations within their domains before involving the centralized management system. This allows common service requests to be processed locally without waiting for centralized approval, significantly reducing service processing time while maintaining unified control for exceptional cases.
Solution Approach 2:
The domain managers serve as intermediaries that filter and process service requests locally, reducing the number of requests that need to reach the centralized management node. This intermediary layer handles time-sensitive operations locally, decreasing overall service processing time while the centralized system maintains unified control through domain manager coordination.
