Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If user-provided network usage data is collected to simulate data flow rate, then simulation can be performed, but cost increases and accuracy decreases due to random sampling and inability to reflect actual network usage situation
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses the network element itself to collect and analyze data traffic information automatically, eliminating the need for users to provide data. The network element performs self-measurement of data flow rates and classification of service access ports based on actual traffic patterns, thereby reducing cost and improving accuracy simultaneously
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual user data collection with automated network-based data collection. Instead of relying on users to provide network usage information, the system automatically monitors and collects data traffic information from the network element itself, substituting the mechanical process of user survey with automated technical measurement
2Reliability
If user demand information is collected for simulation, then data flow rate can be determined, but the collected data has random features and cannot fully reflect actual network usage situation
Solution Approach 1:
The system continuously collects actual data traffic information from the network element and uses this feedback to determine data flow rates. By monitoring real network traffic patterns and using this feedback information, the system ensures that simulation results accurately reflect actual network usage situations without losing any critical information
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments service access ports into different classes based on their data traffic characteristics. By dividing the network into distinct port classes and analyzing each class separately, the system maintains detailed information about actual network usage patterns while improving the representativeness of simulation results for each segment

AI summary
A method and an apparatus for determining a data flow rate on a service access port are provided. The method includes: acquiring data traffic information of existing service access ports; classifying the service access ports according to the data traffic information of the service access ports, and determining a data traffic model of a service access port of each class; and when it is determined that a new service access port is to be added to a network, determining a data traffic model corresponding to the new service access port that is to be added, and determining, according to the data traffic model corresponding to the new service access port that is to be added, a data flow rate on the new service access port that is to be added, thus costs of determining a data flow rate on a new service data port to be added can be reduced.
