Network Intent Feedback for Selective Action Group Replacement
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing network management systems face inefficiencies in managing network management intents, leading to unnecessary resource waste when a target is exceeded in fulfilling network management sub-intents.
Innovation Solution
A method where a network management service consumer entity sends network management sub-intents to producer entities, receives execution results, and sends management indication information to adjust or replace action groups based on fulfillment status, optimizing resource utilization.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a network management service producer entity replaces a management action group when a target of a network management sub-intent fails to be fulfilled, then the target fulfillment reliability is improved, but unnecessary resource waste occurs when the overall network management intent is already fulfilled
Solution Approach 1:
The consumer entity provides feedback to the producer entity by sending management indication information that indicates whether the producer entity should replace the management action group. This feedback mechanism allows the producer entity to make informed decisions about replacement based on the overall fulfillment status of the network management intent, avoiding unnecessary replacements while maintaining reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines the determination of target fulfillment status with the decision to replace management action groups. By integrating these two functions, the system ensures that replacement decisions are made only when necessary for overall intent fulfillment, preventing resource waste while maintaining reliability.
2Measurement precision
If the consumer entity determines target fulfillment based on individual sub-intent execution results, then the management precision is improved, but the overall intent fulfillment accuracy deteriorates due to exceeding fulfillment
Solution Approach 1:
The consumer entity sends management indication information as feedback to the producer entity, providing precise information about whether replacement of management action groups is needed. This feedback ensures accurate determination of intent fulfillment while maintaining appropriate management actions.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts the determination process by considering both individual sub-intent execution results and the overall intent fulfillment status. This dynamic approach allows the system to maintain precision in measurement while avoiding excessive fulfillment that would compromise overall accuracy.

AI summary
This application provides a network management intent management method. The method includes: sending, to N network management service producer entities in a one-to-one manner, N network management sub-intents obtained by decomposing a network management intent; respectively receiving N execution results of the N network management sub-intents, and obtaining an execution result of the network management intent based on the N execution results, where the N execution results include an execution result indicating unfulfillment; and sending, based on the execution result of the network management intent, management indication information to a network management service producer entity that fails to fulfill a target, where the management indication information indicates whether to replace a network management action group for fulfilling a target of a corresponding network management sub-intent. Therefore, whether the producer entity that fails to fulfill the target is to replace the management action group is determined based on the execution result of the network management intent, instead of replacing, based on that the target of the network management sub-intent fails to be fulfilled, the management action group by the producer entity that fails to fulfill the target. This improves a manner of managing the network management intent.
