Switching System Data Routing Marking Mechanism
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current switching systems face inefficiencies and resource wastage when transferring data potentially abnormal to inspection devices, as all devices must determine if data requires specific processing, leading to increased time and bandwidth usage.
Innovation Solution
A switching system with determination and marking modules in switching devices that differentiate between data requiring specific processing and normal data, using distinct transfer processes and path information to efficiently route potentially abnormal data to collection devices, reducing unnecessary processing and bandwidth usage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If all switching devices determine whether received data is subject to specific processing, then data can be accurately routed to collection devices, but processing time and resource consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by having the first switching device determine whether data is subject to specific processing and mark it accordingly before forwarding to other switching devices. This preliminary determination avoids redundant determination operations at subsequent switching devices, reducing overall processing time while maintaining routing accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts the data determination function from all switching devices and concentrates it in the first switching device. By removing the determination operation from subsequent switching devices and retaining only the marking recognition function, the system reduces processing overhead while preserving accurate data routing to collection devices.
2Reliability
If all switching devices perform determination and transfer processing for potentially abnormal data, then complete data inspection is achieved, but circuit bandwidth is wastefully consumed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts potentially abnormal data marked by the first switching device from the general data flow and directs it separately to collection devices. This separation allows normal data to follow the standard switching path while potentially abnormal data is routed for inspection, reducing unnecessary bandwidth consumption by collection devices while maintaining complete inspection coverage.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the data flow into two distinct paths: normal data forwarding and potentially abnormal data collection. By dividing the data handling process into these separate streams with different routing logic, the system ensures complete inspection of suspicious data while minimizing bandwidth waste on normal traffic.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple switching devices independently determine and route data, then routing flexibility is maintained, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the complex determination logic from all switching devices and concentrates it in the first switching device. Subsequent switching devices only need to recognize markings and execute simple routing based on those markings, significantly reducing their complexity while maintaining overall routing flexibility through the marking mechanism.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a marking mechanism as an intermediary between data determination and data routing. The first switching device acts as an intermediary that analyzes data and applies markings, while subsequent switching devices use these markings to determine routing. This intermediary approach simplifies the architecture by separating determination logic from routing logic across different devices.
Data Source
AI summary
A switching system includes a data collection device, one or more switching devices. The data collection device is for collection of first data subject to specific processing. The switching devices directly or indirectly connected to the data collection device. At least one of the switching devices includes a determination module that determines whether received data is the first data or is second data which is not subject to the specific processing, and a marking module that puts first marking on the received data determined to be the first data. The switching devices respectively includes a transferring processor that executes a first transfer process for sending the received data to the data collection device when the received data has the first marking, and a second transfer process that sends the received data to the specified destination when the received data does not have the first marking.
