1. Introduction
Deterministic Networking (DetNet) is a service that can be offered by
a network to DetNet flows. DetNet provides these flows with a low
packet loss rates and assured maximum end-to-end delivery latency.
General background and concepts of DetNet can be found in [RFC8655].
The DetNet Architecture decomposes the DetNet related data plane
functions into two sub-layers: a service sub-layer and a forwarding
sub-layer. The service sub-layer is used to provide DetNet service
protection and reordering. The forwarding sub-layer is used to
provides congestion protection (low loss, assured latency, and
limited reordering) leveraging MPLS Traffic Engineering mechanisms.
[I-D.ietf-detnet-mpls] specifies the DetNet data plane operation for
MPLS-based Packet Switched Network (PSN). MPLS encapsulated DetNet
flows can be carried over network technologies that can provide the
DetNet required level of service. This document focuses on the
scenario where MPLS (DetNet) nodes are interconnected by a IEEE 802.1
