This is an Informational RFC that describes how other standards
documents can be combined. No new mechanisms or recommendations are
defined.

This document describes how the Deterministic Networking MPLS data
plane can operate over a TSN sub-network data plane. This document
does not define new procedures or processes.

Nothing notable.

The document is an Informational document. Early implementations of IP
over DetNet were demonstrated by WG members.

The Shepherd reviewed this document as it progressed through the WG as
well as part of Last Call. All significant comments have been resolved.
> (4) Does the document Shepherd have any concerns about the depth or
> breadth of the reviews that have been performed?
No
> (5) Do portions of the document need review from a particular or from
> broader perspective, e.g., security, operational complexity, AAA, DNS,
> DHCP, XML, or internationalization? If so, describe the review that took
> place.
No.
> (6) Describe any specific concerns or issues that the Document Shepherd
> has with this document that the Responsible Area Director and/or the
> IESG should be aware of? For example, perhaps he or she is uncomfortable
> with certain parts of the document, or has concerns whether there really

> has indicated that it still wishes to advance the document, detail those
> concerns here.
No concerns, assuming published as Informational.
> (7) Has each author confirmed that any and all appropriate IPR
> disclosures required for full conformance with the provisions of BCP 78

Yes, see
https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/detnet/gJj-BUPESxSEcAlksqhXMaxhBqg/
> (8) Has an IPR disclosure been filed that references this document? If
> so, summarize any WG discussion and conclusion regarding the IPR
> disclosures.
No IPR has been disclosed.
> (9) How solid is the WG consensus behind this document? Does it

> silent, or does the WG as a whole understand and agree with it?
I think the document has good support from a narrow set of WG participants.
> (10) Has anyone threatened an appeal or otherwise indicated extreme
> discontent? If so, please summarise the areas of conflict in separate

No
> (11) Identify any ID nits the Document Shepherd has found in this

Idnits issues have been fixed.

N/A.

Yes.

No.

No.

No, N/A.

No requests are made in the document.

None.

N/A
> (20) If the document contains a YANG module, has the module been checked
> with any of the recommended validation tools
> (https://trac.ietf.org/trac/ops/wiki/yang-review-tools) for syntax and

There are no yang models.
