Service Module Coupling for Virtualized Network Routing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Migrating services from dedicated infrastructure to virtualized networks poses challenges due to increased complexity in accommodating message routing, which hinders the benefits of virtualization, such as flexibility and scalability.
Innovation Solution
A control system that creates services by identifying and coupling service modules, including basic, segmented, and composite services, using a service control function to manage and deploy these services, allowing for tight or loose coupling based on service recipes, thereby simplifying the service creation and deployment process.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If services are migrated from dedicated infrastructure to virtualized networks, then flexibility and scalability are improved, but message routing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a service gateway as an intermediary component that mediates message routing between service components in the virtualized network. The service gateway abstracts and simplifies routing logic, handling message forwarding, protocol translation, and path selection centrally, thereby reducing the overall routing complexity while maintaining flexibility and scalability of the virtualized architecture
2Adaptability or versatility
If services are migrated from dedicated infrastructure to virtualized networks, then flexibility and scalability are improved, but service creation and deployment complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments services into modular service components that can be independently created, deployed, and managed. Each service component is a self-contained unit with defined interfaces, allowing services to be built by composing smaller modules. This segmentation simplifies service creation and deployment while maintaining scalability, as new services can be added by integrating pre-built components rather than creating entire services from scratch
Solution Approach 2:
The service gateway acts as a mediator that automates service creation and deployment processes. It provides templates, configuration management, and automated provisioning capabilities that reduce manual intervention and complexity in creating and deploying services on virtualized networks while preserving scalability

AI summary
Concepts and technologies are disclosed herein for creating services using service modules. A control system can detect a service creation request. The control system can identify service modules to be included in a service requested by the service creation request. A service control function can be created to manage the service requested by the service creation request. The service modules can be coupled together, and the service requested by the service creation request can be output.
