1.  Introduction

   Deterministic Networking (DetNet) is a service that can be offered by
   a network to DetNet flows.  DetNet provides these flows extremely low
   packet loss rates and assured bounded end-to-end delivery latency.
   General background and concepts of DetNet can be found in the DetNet
   Architecture [RFC8655].

   Segment Routing(SR) leverages the source routing paradigm. An 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,[I-D.ietf-6man-segment-routing-header]). A
   segment in Segment Routing is not limited to a routing/forwarding
   function.  A SRv6 Segment can indicate functions that are executed
   locally in the node where they are defined. [I-D.ietf-spring-srv6-
   network-programming] describes some well-known functions and segments
   associated to them. SRH TLVs([I-D.ietf-6man-segment-routing-header])
   also provides meta-data for segment processing.  All these features
   make SRv6 suitable to carry DetNet flows, by defining new segments
