      <abstract>
	 <t>   In deterministic networking (DetNet), strict resource reservation and
   scheduling assumptions may encounter anomalous traffic conditions at
   flow aggregation nodes due to microbursts, packet size variations, or
   control plane orchestration limitations.  These conditions represent
   deviations from the ideal deterministic service model rather than
   network faults.  Existing data plane mechanisms for handling
   anomalous packets, such as simple discarding or treating them as
   Best-Effort (BE) flows, are insufficient.  Consequently, the network
   performance can degrade to a level inferior to of traditional QoS
   approaches.Therefore, in order to handle the anomalous traffic, the
   data plane should implement an enhanced handling mechanism.

   This document proposes an enhanced anomalous traffic handling
   solution for DetNet.  This solution specifies two policies for
   handling traffic under anomalous conditions: the squeezing policy and
   the degrading policy.  These policies provide a flexible, enhanced
   mechanism applicable to various queuing mechanisms, ensuring the
   preferential scheduling and preservation of deterministic service
   traffic under anomalous conditions.
