Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the transport network exclusively processes work requests to preserve order, then order preservation is achieved, but computing and network resources are not fully utilized
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces dynamic order levels (first order level and second order level) that allow the transport network to flexibly adjust processing strategies. Work requests can be processed in exclusive order when order preservation is critical, or in parallel with different order levels when resource utilization is prioritized, making the system adaptive to different service requirements
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the work request processing into different order levels. The first work request operates at a first order level while the second work request operates at a second order level, allowing simultaneous processing at different segmentation levels. This enables the system to maintain order preservation at critical levels while allowing parallel processing at other levels, thus resolving the contradiction between reliability and productivity
2Reliability
If the transport network processes work requests in exclusive order, then service requirements are met, but WR processing efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically assigns different order levels to different work requests based on service requirements. When the second WR carries a target sending identifier indicating a second order level different from the first order level, the transport network can process them concurrently, dynamically adjusting processing efficiency while meeting differentiated service requirements
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies different quality of service (QoS) characteristics to different work requests through order levels. The first WR receives strict order preservation (first order level) while the second WR can be processed with different ordering requirements (second order level), allowing local optimization of both reliability and efficiency for different data transmission operations
3Productivity
If the transport network allows parallel processing of work requests, then resource utilization improves, but order preservation becomes difficult to maintain
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments parallel processing into different order levels, where each level maintains its own ordering guarantees. The first WR at the first order level and the second WR at the second order level can be processed in parallel without interfering with each other's order preservation, as each segment operates with its own ordering context
Solution Approach 2:
The target sending identifier acts as an intermediary that carries order level information between the computing node and the transport network. This intermediary enables the transport network to understand and enforce different order levels for parallel work requests, maintaining order preservation without requiring exclusive processing

AI summary
Embodiments of this application disclose a data processing method and apparatus, to fully utilize computing resources and network resources of a transport network while ensuring a service requirement, so as to improve WR processing efficiency. The method includes: Before submitting a WR to the transport network, a sending node determines an order level of the WR based on the service requirement, adds a sending identifier to the WR based on the order level of the WR, and indicates, via the sending identifier, the transport network to process the WR based on the order level. Therefore, an optimal processing solution for the WR is provided while the service requirement and WR processing efficiency are balanced.
