Abstract

   One of the goals of DetNet is to provide bounded end-to-end latency
   for critical flows.  This document defines how to leverage Segment
   Routing over IPv6 (SRv6) to implement bounded latency.  Specifically,
   new SRv6 SID function is used to specify transmission time (cycles)
   of a packet.  When forwarding devices along the path follow the
   instructions carried in the packet, the bounded latency is achieved.
   This mechanism of latency guarantee is called Cycle Specified Queuing
   and Forwarding (CSQF) which is defined in
   [I-D.chen-detnet-sr-based-bounded-latency].

1.  Introduction

   Deterministic Networking(DetNet) provides a capability to carry
   specified data flows with extremely low data loss rates and bounded
   latency within a network domain.  DetNet is enabled by a group of
   technologies, such as resource allocation, service protection and
   explicit routes.([I-D.ietf-detnet-architecture])

   Segment Routing(SR) leverages the source routing paradigm.  A ingress
   node steers a packet through an ordered list of instructions, called
   "segments".  SR can be applied over IPv6 data plane using Routing
   Extension Header(SRH).  Besides routing, the segment of SRv6 can
   indicate functions which are executed locally in the node where they
   are defined.  SRv6 network programming makes it convenient to add
   sophisticated operations in the network.  ([RFC8402])

   This document describes how to implement DetNet with SRv6.  It can
   provide : 1.  Source routing, which can steer the DetNet flows go
