Star Topology Cloud Hub for Private Network Communication
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current technologies face challenges in facilitating seamless data cooperation between different service providers' private networks, as users' demands for comprehensive services exceed the capabilities of single-service providers, necessitating efficient data communication across multiple networks.
Innovation Solution
A cloud enterprise network acts as a centralized hub, creating sub-instances within each private network to establish communication links, forming a star topology that enables data communication between private networks with minimal direct links, using network registration requests and sub-instance creation instructions to automate the process, and employing border gateway protocol for efficient routing and security verification.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If direct communication links are established between all private networks, then communication reliability is improved, but network complexity increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a cloud enterprise network as an intermediary hub that mediates communication between multiple private networks. Instead of establishing direct peer-to-peer links between all private networks (which would create N*(N-1)/2 connections), each private network connects only to the cloud enterprise network, reducing the number of links to N. This intermediary structure maintains communication reliability while dramatically reducing network complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the network into hierarchical levels: cloud enterprise networks at the upper level and private networks at the lower level. This segmentation allows communication to be routed through appropriate levels, with the cloud enterprise network handling inter-private-network communication. This segmentation reduces the complexity by creating manageable network segments rather than a fully interconnected mesh.
2Reliability
If manual network configuration is performed for each private network connection, then communication security is improved, but configuration time and operational complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements automated network configuration where the cloud enterprise network automatically performs legitimacy verification and establishes communication links with private networks. The system uses automated authentication mechanisms and dynamic link establishment protocols that eliminate manual configuration requirements. This self-service approach maintains security through automated verification while dramatically improving operational ease and reducing configuration time.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary legitimacy verification and authentication before establishing communication links. The cloud enterprise network pre- validates private network identities and credentials, and pre-configures security parameters before actual data communication begins. This preliminary action ensures security requirements are met while automating the process, eliminating the need for manual security configuration during operation.
3Productivity
If multiple direct communication links are established between private networks, then data communication efficiency is improved, but network maintenance difficulty increases
Solution Approach 1:
The cloud enterprise network serves as a centralized mediator that manages all communication routing between private networks. This centralized management simplifies maintenance because the cloud enterprise network can monitor, control, and troubleshoot all connections from a single point. Communication efficiency is maintained because the cloud enterprise network optimizes routing paths and can dynamically adjust traffic flow, while maintenance difficulty is reduced through centralized control.
Solution Approach 2:
The cloud enterprise network performs multiple functions simultaneously: it acts as a communication hub, a security verification authority, a routing optimizer, and a maintenance management center. This multi-functionality consolidates what would otherwise require separate systems for each private network connection into a single universal platform, improving communication efficiency while simplifying maintenance through unified management.

AI summary
A method, apparatus, electronic device, and computer readable storage medium for communication between private networks are provided. An embodiment of the method may include: receiving a communication request sent by a first sub-instance provided in a first private network, the first sub-instance being created based on that the first private network initiates a network registration request to a master instance; determining a second private network as a destination based on the communication request; and sending the communication request to the second private network through a second sub-instance provided in the second private network, the second sub-instance being created based on that the second private network initiates a network registration request to the master instance, wherein the first private network, the second private network, and a cloud enterprise network provided with the master instance forms a star topology centered on the cloud enterprise network.
