                 Jitter Reduction Mechanism for DetNet

Abstract

   In large-scale deterministic networks (LDN), App-flows need to span
   multiple deterministic network domains, and the latency in multiple
   domains is added together. The jitter will be increased. In order to
   realize the protection service function, App-flows should be
   transmitted on multiple paths. The delay difference in data
   transmission on different paths is no different from jitter in end-
   to-end services. Jitter generated by various factors needs to be
   reduced to meet business requirements.

   This document describes the end-to-end jitter reduction mechanism in
   an LDN. This mechanism can effectively control the end-to-end jitter
   to meet specific business needs and make the planning of multiple
   paths for service protection more flexible.

                         Figure 1 Multiple domains

   In deterministic networks, as stated in [I-D.ietf-detnet-scaling-
   requirements], end-to-end service may across multiple network domains
   and adopt a variety of different queuing mechanisms within each
   domain. For end-to-end services spanning multiple domains, jitter
   exists in various factors:

   o Scheduling and traffic admission control at domain boundaries may
      cause jitter;

   o The jitter generated by queuing and forwarding mechanisms in the
      DetNet domain, such as the [IEEE 802.1 QCR] asynchronous shaping
      method;

   o Flow aggregation generates jitter. In [RFC 8938], the DetNet data
      plane also allows for the aggregation of DetNet flows, which can
      improve scalability by reducing the per-hop state. When the
      aggregated flows are scheduled, the jitter of the flows cannot be
      precisely controlled.

Internet-Draft  Jitter Reduction Mechanism for DetNet       August 2024

   At the same time, according to [I-D.ietf-detnet-scaling-
   requirements], large-scale deterministic networks should support
   cross-domain asynchronous clocks; in addition, multiple domains may
   be heterogeneous networks (such as TSN, DetNet IP and 5GS). The
   factors all determine that it is difficult to reduce jitter between
   domains through a mechanism similar to CSQF[I-D.chen-detnet-sr-
   based-bounded-latency] or TCQF[I-D.draft-eckert-detnet-tcqf]. While
   the jitter generated by various factors in the end-to-end
   transmission path is accumulated, it may not meet the applications'
   requirements on jitter.

   This document describes a mechanism to reduce the jitter introduced
   by a variety of factors in scaling DetNet.

2. Terminology

   The following terminology is introduced in this document:

   Actual Delay (ActD): The actual transmission delay of a deterministic
   data packet passing through a specified network domain is called the
   Actual Time.

   Reference Delay (RefD): The maximum delay for packets of DetNet flows
   to pass through the DetNet domain.

   Fixed delay (FixD): The approximately constant part of the end-to-end
   transmission delay of the data packets of the App-flows through the
   DetNet.

   Path Reference Delay (PthRefD): The maximum end-to-end transmission
   delay of data packets of App-flows through the DetNet.

   Path Actual Delay (PthActD): The end-to-end actual transmission delay
   of a certain packet of App-flows through the DetNet.

   Compensation Delay (CompD): The delay required to compensate the
   actual delay according to the reference delay.

   Clock Source: Used as a clock source for subnet time synchronization.

   I-Gw: The ingress gateway of the deterministic subnet.

   E-Gw: The egress gateway of the deterministic subnet.

   HEAD NODE: The I-Gw of the first DetNet domain accessed by the App-
   flows in the DetNet forwarding path is HEAD NODE.

   COMPENSATION NODE: This node performs calculation and compensation
   for time delay.

   NODE.

   EGRESS-RELAY NODE: The E-Gw gateway of each domain except the
   COMPENSATION NODE.

   synchronization reference for the clock used for DetNet data plane
   [DDP] timing.

   In Figure 2, the Clock Source is a part of VCRP. I-Gw1 is HEAD NODE.
   E-Gw1, E-Gw2, E-Gw3 are EGRESS-RELAY NODE. I-Gw2, I-Gw3 are INGRESS-
   RELAY NODE. E-Gw4 is COMPENSATION NODE.

   The I-Gw gateway of each domain except the HEAD NODE should extract
   the packet receiving time, and calculate the actual delay of the
   previous domain, and carry it into the packet.

   The E-Gw gateway of each domain except the COMPENSATION NODE should
   save the sending time information of the domain.

   It is difficult to improve the accuracy of time synchronization,
   because VCRP may have a large geographical span. Clock source of VCRP
   provides time synchronization for each DetNet domain. Time
   synchronization is required within each DetNet domain, not between
   DetNet domains. Each domain is frequency-synchronized with the clock
   source provided by VCRP to avoid excessive deviation caused by each
   domain due to the influence of the environment. Because the clock
   sources that provide synchronization references for each DetNet
   domain in VCRP may not physically connected, it is difficult to
   achieve time synchronization in VCRP. On the premise that the
   transmission delay in each domain is not large, the frequency
   accuracy of the clock used for timing is relatively low. It is
   relatively easy for VCRP to provide a stable clock source with a
   certain accuracy for each DetNet domain for time synchronization.

   Each compensation needs a reference value, and compensation
   redundancy must be considered. When a data packet undergoes delay
   compensation multiple times, the end-to-end delay will be increased.
   No matter where delay compensation is performed, there is still the
   possibility that multiple transmitted data after compensation need to
   be queued, resulting in queuing delay, which reduces the compensation
   effect. Compensating at the very edge of the network aims to provide
   a standard way to reduce end-to-end jitter, applicable to various
   mechanisms, to achieve the best possible results with the smallest
   implementation cost.

4. Proposal Description

   Basic idea of the scheme: when establishing a deterministic stream
   session, obtain the reference delay of the path, obtain the actual
   delay of the data packet during transmission, calculate the
   compensation delay according to the reference delay and the actual
   transmission delay, and compensate the transmission delay at the
   COMPENSATION NODE connected to the Listener. The implementation
   principle is described in detail below.

              Figure 3 The timing model of transmission delay

   Figure 3 describes the abstract model of multi-domain transmission
   delay segmentation timing, where Tn (n=1~4 in Figure 3) is the
   reference delay RefDn of each domain, and this value is obtained
   according to the selection of queuing mechanism combined with
   engineering applications.

   For a specific deterministic path, there is a master clock in the
   same domain, and each node in the path will perform time
   synchronization with this clock, and finally obtain intra-domain time
   synchronization. The reference delay of the end-to-end path is:

   PthRefD = FixD + T1 + T2 + T3 + T4.

   If service protection is realized by sending copies of the same data
   packet through multiple paths, the reference delay of path i is:

   Select the reference delay of the path with the largest one as the
   common reference delay of all the paths, and the final reference
   delay is:

   PthRefD = ceil(PthRefD1, PthRefD2, ..., PthRefDn).

   Let T'n (n=1~4 in Figure 3) be the actual transmission delay ActD of
   a certain data packet in each domain, and it depends on the time
   entering the domain and the time of exiting the domain when the data
   packet is actually delivered. The residence time in domain can also
   be obtained after the data packet is transmitted. Therefore, the
   actual transmission delay of this packet is:

   PthActD = FixD + T'1 + T'2 + T'3 + T'4.

   The delay of the packet needs to be compensated at CompD:

   CompD = PthRefD - PthActD

         = (PthRefD - FixD) - (T'1 + T'2 + T'3+ T'4).

   If service protection is achieved by sending copies of the same data
   packet through multiple paths, the actual delay of path i is

   PthActD_i = FixD_i + T'1_i + T'2_i + T'3_i + T'4_i.

   The delay of the packet needs to be compensated after transmission in
   path i is CompD:

   CompD = (PthRefD - FixD_i) - (T'1_i + T'2_i + T'3_i + T'4_i)

   The formula can be simplified as:

   CompD = Cap - (T'1 + T'2 + T'3 + T'4) (Formula 1),

   or

   CompD_i              = Cap_i - (T'1_i + T'2_i + T'3_i +

                                          T'4_i) (Formula 2),

   where (PthRefD - FixD) is Cap, and (PthRefD - FixD_i) is Cap_i. Cap
   or Cap_i can be obtained directly or indirectly before deploying a
   deterministic streaming session. The specific obtaining method will
   be added in subsequent updates. Compensation is performed on E-Gw4
   according to Formula 1 or Formula 2 when the DetNet data packet is
   transmitted.

4.1. Data-Plane Overview

   In the data plane, it is necessary to obtain the reference delay from
   the HEAD NODE to the COMPENSATION NODE. During actual transmission,
   collect the actual transmission delay in each domain, and compensate
   the delay at the COMPENSATION NODE based on the reference delay.

   For delay collection, two methods provide the relevant information
   required by each gateway:

   Method 1: Specify the operation of the subsequent gateway in the HEAD
   NODE. After the HEAD NODE identifies the flow, it encapsulates the
   relevant information into a data packet, and the subsequent gateway
   node performs corresponding operations according to the information
   in the data packet. The advantage of this method is that it
   simplifies the subsequent gateway configuration, but the disadvantage
   is that the overhead is large.

   Method 2: Configure the relevant information in the edge gateway
   along the path, and the edge gateway node will identify the DetNet
   flow and then obtain the information from the configuration for
   corresponding operations. The advantage of this method is that the
   overhead is small, and the disadvantage is that subsequent gateways
   need flow-by-flow configuration.

   The specific operation will be supplemented in subsequent updates.

4.1.1. Residency delay processing method 1

   In order to obtain more accurate residence time, the timestamp is
   obtained at a lower layer (for example, the PMA sublayer of
   Ethernet). Only the sending timestamp is filled in EGRESS-RELAY,
   and the residence time in the domain is not calculated. Calculation
   is performed at the INGRESS-RELAY of the next network domain. On

   the one hand, it can reduce the transmission of metadata within the
   device, and on the other hand, it can reduce the calculation
   implementation of the hardware layer.

   The process required for the different roles of the gateway that
   DetNet flows pass through is described as follows.

   When receiving a packet, the HEAD NODE performs the following
   process:

   1. Identify the DetNet flow and obtain the cross-domain information
      provided by the control plane. This cross-domain information
      includes the actions of the subsequent gateways, which can be
      encapsulated in the packet or configured by the control plane to
      the subsequent gateways.

   2. Obtain the time when this node receives the packet.

   3. Fill the cross-domain information and the time that this node
      receives the packet into the packet.

   When receiving a packet, the INGRESS-RELAY NODE performs the
   following process:

   4. Identify the DetNet flow and obtain the cross-domain information
      provided by the control plane from the packet or from the
      configuration. The gateway takes actions according to the
      information.

   The main procedure is:

   a) Obtain the time when this node receives the packet.

   b) Calculate the residence delay of the previous domain.

   5. Fill the residence delay of the previous domain and the time when
      this node receives the packet into the packet.

   When receiving a packet, the EGRESS-RELAY NODE performs the following
   process:

   1. Identify the DetNet flow and obtain the cross-domain information
      provided by the control plane from the packet or from the
      configuration. The gateway takes actions according to the
      information.

   The main procedure is:

Internet-Draft  Jitter Reduction Mechanism for DetNet       August 2024

   a) Fill the sending time of the packet into the specified position of
   the packet when a packet is sent.

   When receiving a packet, the COMPENSATION NODE performs the following
   process:

   1. Identify the DetNet flow and obtain the cross-domain information
      provided by the control plane from the packet or from the
      configuration. The gateway takes actions according to the
      information.

   The main procedure is:

   a) Obtain the time when this node receives the packet and calculate
   the residence delay of the packet in this domain.

   b) Accumulate the residence delays of the packet in each domain.

   c) Calculate the compensation delay.

   2. Send out the packet after completing the compensation.

4.1.2. Residency delay processing method 2

   The basic processing is similar to Section 4.2.1. The sending
   timestamp is obtained in EGRESS-RELAY, and combined with the
   receiving timestamp passed by the metadata, the residence time in the
   domain is calculated. More metadata is required to be transferred
   within the device. At the same time, the device needs additional
   hardware layer calculation implementation, which needs to be
   carefully implemented to calculate the processing delay after
   obtaining the timestamp into the residence delay.

4.1.3. residence time adjustment

   In scenarios with high accuracy(tightly bounded jitter) requirements,
   it is necessary to consider the timing frequency offset of the clock
   source of each domain relative to the final compensation node. For
   example, if 10ms in a certain domain is equivalent to 10.1ms in the
   compensation node, then the dwell delay needs to be calculated in the
   domain, and an adjustment of 1% is added to the calculated value.
   This adjustment ratio needs to be obtained before deploying
   deterministic flows, and should be considered to be stored in the
   message or configured in EGRESS-RELAY or INGRESS-RELAY. When topology
   changes affect this adjustment ratio, corresponding updates need to
   be made.

4.2. Control-Plane Overview

   The control plane needs to cooperate with the data plane to complete
   the following transactions:

   1. Define gateway operations along the path and configure data plane
      gateways.

   2. Cooperate with the data plane to complete the measurement and
      calculate the reference delay.

   3. Configure the reference delay information to the HEAD NODE or
      COMPENSATION NODE.

   4. Maintenance during runtime: periodically collect the reference
      delay of each domain and calculate the reference delay of the
      whole path, and refresh the reference delay to the HEAD NODE or
      COMPENSATION NODE.

   For delay collection, the control plane has two methods to cooperate
   with the data plane to supply the relevant information required by
   each gateway:

   Method 1: The control plane globally distributes the gateway ID, and
   configures the ID to each edge gateway. The control plane configures
   the collected delay information to the HEAD NODE.

   Method 2: The control plane configures flow-by-flow operations to the
   domain edge gateways along the path.

5. Robustness considerations

   In a large-scale network, not only the topology changes, but also the
   transmission delay, which is regarded as a constant part, changes due
   to environmental factors.

   In response to topology changes, a certain amount of redundancy is
   reserved in the reference value of the compensation delay. For
   example, in the multi-path service protection that implements PREOF,
   if one of the paths fails, the transmission delay of the alternative
   path increases by 1ms (about 200 kilometers). However, if the upper
   limit of the reference delay used for compensation reserves a
   redundancy of 1ms , after compensation, the business cannot perceive
   this change.

   However, if the transmission delay considered to be a constant part
   changes due to environmental factors, the upper limit of the
   reference delay for compensation needs to be adjusted. Considering
   that the change in transmission delay caused by environmental changes

Guo, et al.           Expires February 5, 2025               [Page 13]
Internet-Draft  Jitter Reduction Mechanism for DetNet       August 2024

   is a gradual change, it is feasible to regularly maintain the
   reference value of the compensation delay. The method of collecting
   reference delays is described in detail in [I-D.detnet-compensation-
   reference].

   Before deploying deterministic business flows, it is necessary to
   establish a service protection group between HN and CN. After
   establishing the service protection group, CN sends the Req_i message
   to HN through any path, and HN constructs the response message Ack_i
   on each path as described above (i=1~n). PthRefD and Cap_i of each
   path are calculated on CN to compensate for the delay of
   deterministic flow. After deploying the deterministic flow, CN
   periodically sends the Req_i message to HN through any path, and HN
   constructs the response message Ack_i on each path as described above
   (i=1~n). FixD_i is calculated on CN, and then Cap_i is calculated.

   As the transmission delay of the line is asymptotic due to
   environmental changes, there is an accumulation process. Therefore,
   it is feasible to periodically update Cap_i. The compensation
   standard PthRefD remains unchanged, and the reference delay value
   adjusts with the line change, providing real-time compensation for
   variable delays. Therefore, within a bounded time limit, the
   application will not perceive the accumulated changes. The refresh
   cycle of Cap_i depends on the precision that the business needs to
   achieve and the speed of environmental changes.

   Fault isolation will occur first. Therefore, when a fault occurs, not
   all protected paths will fail, and the application will not perceive
   the change in transmission delay. After recovery, the new Cap_i is
   updated before the isolation is lifted. As long as the new path
   length does not exceed PthRefD, the application will not perceive the
   fault.

   When calculating the compensation delay for each path, suppose a data
   packet passes through path i and the residence delay in each domain
   is ActD_i (ActD_i is a variable delay, which may not be the same each
   time it is obtained after transmission). If the upper limit of the
   compensation delay is Cap_i, then the delay to be compensated is
   CompD_i = Cap_i - ActD_i.

   Cap_i can be sent to the HN node, encapsulated into the deterministic
   flow data packet, and used in CN for delay compensation by obtaining
   Cap_i and ActD_i from the data packet; or Cap_i can be sent to the
   flow-related compensation information table on the CN node for delay
   compensation.
