1.  Introduction

   According to [RFC8655], Deterministic Networking (DetNet) operates at
   the IP layer and delivers service which provides extremely low data
   loss rates and bounded latency within a network domain.  DetNet data
   planes has been specified in [RFC8938].  The existing deterministic
   technologies are facing large-scale number of nodes and long-distance
   transmission, traffic scheduling, dynamic flows, and other
   controversial issues in large-scale networks.  The DetNet Enhanced
   Data plane (EDP) is required to support a data plane method of flow
   identification and packet treatment.
   [I-D.ietf-detnet-scaling-requirements]has described the enhancement
   requirements for DetNet enhanced data plane, such as aggregated flow
   identification, redundancy, explicit path selection and deterministic
   latency guarantees.  [I-D.xiong-detnet-large-scale-enhancements] has
   proposed the overall framework of DetNet enhancements for large-scale
   deterministic networks.  The packet treatment should schedule the
   resources and indicate the behaviour to ensure the deterministic
   latency.  Moreover, new functions and related metadata should be

   supported in enhanced DetNet.

   This document discusses the specific metadata which should be carried
   in Enhanced Data plane (EDP), proposes the DetNet data fields and
   option types for EDP such as Deterministic Latency Action Option.
   DetNet Data-Fields for EDP can be encapsulated into a variety of
   protocols such as MPLS, IPv6 and SRv6 networks.

3.  Specific Metadata for DetNet Enhanced Data Plane

3.1.  Queuing-based Metadata

   The queuing-based mechanisms is an important type of resource to
   ensure the deterministic latency.  As described in [RFC9320], the
   end-to-end bounded latency depends on the value of queuing delay
   bound along with the queuing mechanisms.  Multiple queuing mechanisms
   can be used to guarantee the bounded latency in DetNet.

   And many types of queuing mechanisms have been proposed to provide
   diversified deterministic service for various applications.  For
   example, time-scheduling queuing mechanisms includes the TAS (Time
   Aware Shaping) [IIEEE802.1Qbv] and priority-scheduling includes the
   CBS (Credit-Based Shaper)[IEEE802.1Q-2014] with ATS (Asynchronous

   Traffic Shaping)[IEEE802.1Qcr].  The cyclic-scheduling queuing
   mechanism has been proposed such as CQF (Cyclic Queuing and
   Forwarding) in [IEEE802.1Qch] and improved in
   [I-D.dang-queuing-with-multiple-cyclic-buffers].  The deadline-
   scheduling queuing mechanism has been proposed in [I-D.stein-srtsn]
   and improved in [I-D.peng-detnet-deadline-based-forwarding].  The
   per-flow queuing mechanism includes Guaranteed-Service Integrated
   service (IntServ) [RFC2212].  The asynchronous queuing mechanism
   includes the Asynchronous Deterministic Networking (ADN) as per
   [I-D.joung-detnet-asynch-detnet-framework].  The Packet Timeslot
   Mechanism is also proposed as per
   [I-D.peng-detnet-packet-timeslot-mechanism].  The functions such as
   the queuing mechanisms should be provided for enhanced DetNet to
   ensure the deterministic latency.

   And when queuing mechanisms used in large-scale networks, some
   queuing parameters should be carried for coordination between nodes
   so as to make appropriate packet forwarding and scheduling decisions
   to meet the time bounds.  The DetNet forwarding nodes along the path
   can apply the function and the deterministic latency related
   information should be carried as metadata in the packet to achieve
   the end-to-end bounded latency.

4.  Data Fields for DetNet Enhanced Data Plane

4.1.  DetNet Option-Types and Data-Fields

   The enhanced functions and related metadata for DetNet EDP should be
   confirmed before the encapsulations.  While more than one metadata
   should be carried in EDP, the common DetNet Header for EDP should be
   considered to cover all option-types and data.

   it.  The DetNet DLA Option consist of a fixed-size "DetNet DLA Option
   Header" and a variable-size "DetNet DLA Option Data".  The Header and
   Data may be encapsulated continuously or separately.  A Data or more
   than one Data in lists can be carried in packets.

5.  Encapsulation Considerations for DetNet Enhanced Data Plane

5.1.  Metadata for DetNet Enhanced Data Plane

   For the functions ensuring the deterministic latency such as queuing
   mechanisms should be provided and the queuing related information
   should be carried as metadata.  The metadata and definitions should
   be common among different candidate queuing solutions.

   Information and metadata MUST be simplified and limited to be carried
   in DetNet packets for provided bounded latency related scheduling
   along the forwarding path.

   The requirement of the flow or service may be not suitable to be
   carried explicitly in DetNet data plane.  The packet treatment should
   schedule the resources and indicate the behaviour to ensure the
   deterministic latency in forwarding sub-layer.  So the queuing
   mechanisms could be viewed as a type of deterministic resources.  The
   resources type and queuing type should be explicitly indicated.

5.2.  Encoding for DetNet Enhanced Data Plane

   For IPv4 and traditional MPLS networks, it is not suitable to carry
   new metadata and it is suggested to reuse the original bits such as
   DSCP [I-D.eckert-detnet-tcqf].  The mapping from DSCP and the
   metadata such as queuing information MUST be provided in the
   controller plane.

   The DetNet-specific metadata can also be encoded as a common data
   fields and the definition of data fields is independent from the
   encapsulating protocols.  The data fields could be encapsulated into
   a variety of protocols, such as MPLS 2.0 [I-D.sx-detnet-mpls-queue],
   IPv6 [I-D.xiong-detnet-6man-queuing-option], SRv6 [draft-xiong-
   detnet-spring-srh-extensions] and so on.
