Bernardos and Luis M. Contreras and Quan Xiong and Alain Mourad}, title = {{A PCE-based Control Plane Framework for Multi-Domain Deterministic Networking (DetNet)}}, pagetotal = 12, year = 2025, month = oct, day = 16, abstract = {Deterministic Networking (DetNet) provides the capability to carry specified unicast or multicast data flows for real-time applications with extremely low data loss rates and bounded latency over a path or network. As DetNet deployments expand, they will inevitably need to span multiple domains that may be under separate administrative or technological control. This creates a need for a control plane solution that can establish and maintain end-to-end DetNet services across these domain boundaries. This document defines a framework for a Path Computation Element (PCE)-based control plane for multi-domain DetNet. It first establishes a working definition of a "DetNet Domain" for the purpose of path computation and control. It then describes two high-level architectural approaches for inter-domain path computation and resource reservation: a Hierarchical PCE model and a peer-to-peer PCE "stitching" model. This framework provides the foundation for more specific work on multi-domain DetNet solutions.}, }
