Traffic Control Rule Setting System for Wholesale Operators
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current Traffic Management Solution (TMS) systems face inefficiencies in processing capacity, leading to wasted server resources due to the need for separate servers for each wholesale operator, as the processing capacity required differs among them.
Innovation Solution
A setting system that allows for flexible traffic control by storing switching setting information for each wholesale operator, including their allocated IP addresses and timing for applying control regulation information, enabling administrators to set traffic control rules according to their specific needs.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If separate servers are prepared for each wholesale operator to perform processing for each IP address range, then traffic control for each wholesale operator can be implemented, but server resources are wasted due to differing processing capacity requirements among operators
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple wholesale operator managements into a single MO server by implementing IP address range-based identification. Instead of having separate servers for each operator, the system consolidates them into one server that can distinguish and manage different operators' traffic through IP address range matching, thereby eliminating server resource waste while maintaining operator-specific traffic control capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The MO server is designed with multi-functionality to handle traffic control for multiple wholesale operators simultaneously. By incorporating IP address range storage and matching capabilities, a single server can serve multiple operators with different processing requirements, making the system universal rather than requiring dedicated servers for each operator.
2Loss of energy
If a single server handles multiple wholesale operators, then server resource utilization is optimized, but the complexity of managing different IP address ranges and control rules increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the management of wholesale operators into discrete IP address range units. Each operator's IP address range is stored as a separate entry in the MO server, allowing the system to segment and handle different operators' traffic control rules independently within a unified server architecture, thus managing complexity through structured organization.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism in the form of IP address range matching between the incoming traffic and stored operator definitions. This intermediary matching process automatically determines which control rules apply to which traffic, reducing the manual management complexity while maintaining the ability to handle multiple operators efficiently.

AI summary
To enable to set a traffic control rule for each wholesale business according to the wishes of a manager or the like, a setting system for setting control definition information, which is information acquired by combining a control rule defining the control of core network traffic with the internet protocol address of the communication terminal being the transmission destination of the traffic to which the control rule is applied, includes a switching setting information storage which stores the internet protocol address of the communication terminal assigned to the wholesale business, and switching setting information, which is information expressing the timing at which the application of each of the control definition information to the control switches, and includes a setting unit for setting the control definition information based on the switching setting information, wherein the switching setting information is stored in the switching setting information storage via an input operation.
