               SRv6 for Deterministic Networking (DetNet)
                  draft-geng-spring-srv6-for-detnet-01

Abstract

   Deterministic Networking provides service with low jitter, bounded
   latency and low loss rate, using technologies of explicit route,
   resource reservation and service protection.This document specifies
   how to implement Deterministic Networking (DetNet) in a SRv6 Network.

1.  Introduction

   With more and more applications running in the Internet, quality of
   the service gains more and more attention, especially for some new
   applications, for example Cloud VR, Cloud Game, HDV (high-definition
   video) and so on, SLA (Service Level Agreement), including jitter,
   delay and loss rate, influences the users' experience significantly.
   So SLA guarantee is an important issue which requires new
   technologies and solutions for the network.

   Deterministic Networking (DetNet defined in [RFC8655]) provides a
   capability to carry specified data flows for real-time applications
   with extremely low data loss rates, low jitter and bounded latency
   within a network domain.  Techniques used include: 1) providing
   explicit paths for DetNet flows that satisfies the SLA requirement
   from user and do not immediately change with the network topology; 2)
   reserving data plane resources for DetNet flows along the allocated
   path of the flow; 3) replicates DetNet flows into two or more copies
   and transport different copies through different path in parallel,
   called service protection.
