1. Introduction
Deterministic Networking(DetNet) provides a capability to carry
specified data flows with extremely low data loss rates and bounded
latency within a network domain. DetNet is enabled by a group of
technologies, such as resource allocation, service protection and
explicit routes.([I-D.ietf-detnet-architecture])
Segment Routing(SR) leverages the source routing paradigm. A 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). Besides routing, the segment of SRv6 can
indicate functions which are executed locally in the node where they
Geng & Mach Expires September 12, 2019 [Page 2]
Internet-Draft Abbreviated-Title March 2019
are defined. SRv6 network programming makes it convenient to add
sophisticated operations in the network. ([RFC8402])
This document describes how to implement DetNet with SRv6. It can
provide : 1. Source routing, which can steer the DetNet flows go
through the network according to an explicit route with allocated
resource; 2. Network programming, which can give packet instructions
in some special nodes(even all the nodes) along the path to guarantee
service protection and congestion protection. DetNet SRv6
encapsulation and new SRv6 functions for DetNet are defined in this
document.
Control plane and OAM are not in the scope of this document.
2. Terminology and Conventions
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].
2.1. Terminology
Terminologies for DetNet go along with the definition in
[I-D.ietf-detnet-architecture]. Other terminologies are defined as
follows:
o NH: The IPv6 next-header field.
o SID: A Segment Identifier which represents a specific segment in a
segment routing domain([RFC8402]).
o SRH: The Segment Routing Header
([I-D.ietf-6man-segment-routing-header]).
2.2. Conventions
Conventions in the document are defined as follows:
o NH=SRH means that NH is 43 with routing type 4.
o A SID list is represented as <S1, S2, S3> where S1 is the first
SID to visit, S2 is the second SID to visit and S3 is the last SID
to visit along the SR path.
o SRH[SL] represents the SID pointed by the SL field in the first
SRH. In our example, SRH[2] represents S1, SRH[1] represents S2
and SRH[0] represents S3.
Geng & Mach Expires September 12, 2019 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft Abbreviated-Title March 2019
o (SA,DA) (S3, S2, S1; SL) represents an IPv6 packet with:
IPv6 header with source and destination addresses SA and DA
respectively, and next-header SRH, with SID list <S1, S2, S3>
with SegmentsLeft = SL
The payload of the packet is not represented
(S3, S2, S1; SL) represents the same SID list as <S1, S2, S3>,
but encoded in the SRH format where the rightmost SID in the
SRH is the first SID and the leftmost SID in the SRH is the
last SID
3. SRv6 DetNet Data Plane Overview
3.1. SRv6 DetNet Data Plane Layers
[I-D.ietf-detnet-architecture]decomposes the DetNet data plane into
two sub-layers: service sub-layer and transport sub-layer. Different
from DetNet MPLS data plane solution, which uses DetNet Control
Word(d-CW) and S-Label to support service sub-layer and uses T-Label
to support transport sub-layer, no explicit sub-layer division can be
found in SRv6 data plane. A classical SRv6 DetNet data plane
solution is showed in the picture below:
+-------------------+
| Outer Ipv6 Header |
+-------------------+
| SRH |
+-------------------+ +-------------------+
| Ipv6 Header | ----> | Ipv6 Header |
+-------------------+ +-------------------+
The outer IPv6 Header with SRH is used for carrying DetNet flows.
Traffic Engineering is programmed in the segment list of SRH, and
other functions and arguments for service protection (packet
replication, elimination and ordering) and congestion control (packet
queuing and forwarding) are also defined in SRH.
3.2. SRv6 DetNet Data Plane Scenarios

+---+ +---+ +-+-+ +-+-+ +---+ +---+
+-----+T3+-----+
The figure above shows that an IPv6 flow is sent our from the end
station: E1. The packet of the flow is encapsulated as a DetNet SRv6
packet in the Ingress(In) and transported through an SRv6 DetNet
domain. In the Egress(Eg), the upper IPv6 header with SRH of the
packet is popped, and the packet is transmitted to the
destination(E2).
The DetNet packet processing is as follows:
Ingress:
Insert SRv6 Policy, which can steer the packet from Ingress to
Relay Node 1
Flow Identification and Sequence Number are carried in SRH
Relay Node 1(Replication Node):
Replicate the payload and IPv6 Header with SRH
Binding two different SRv6 Policy respectively to the original
packet and the replicated packet, which can steer the packet from
Relay Node 1 to Relay Node 2 through two tunnels
Relay Node 2(Elimination Node):
Eliminate the redundant packets
Binding a new SRv6 Policy to the survival packet, which can steer
the packet from Relay Node 2 to Egress.
Egress:
Decapsulate the upper Ipv6 header
Send the packet to the End Station 2
The DetNet packet encapsulation is as follows:
Geng & Mach Expires September 12, 2019 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft Abbreviated-Title March 2019
End Station1 out : (E1,E2)
Ingress out : (In, T1)(R1,T1,SL=2)(E1,E2)
Transit Node1 out : (In, R1)(R1,T1,SL=1)(E1,E2)
Relay Node1 out : (R2, R1)(R2,T2,SL=2)(E1,E2)/(R2,
R1)(R2,T3,SL=2)(E1,E2)
Transit Node2 out : (R2, R1)(R2,T2,SL=1)(E1,E2)
Transit Node3 out : (R2, R1)(R2,T3,SL=1)(E1,E2)
Relay Node2 out : (Eg, R2)(Eg,T4,SL=2)(E1,E2)
Transit Node4 out : (Eg, R2)(Eg,T4,SL=1)(E1,E2)
Egress out : (E1,E2)
4. SRv6 DetNet Data Plane Solution Considerations
To carry DetNet over SRv6, the following elements are required:
1. A method of identifying the SRv6 payload type;
2. A suitable explicit route to deliver the DetNet flow ;
3. A method of indicating packet processing, such as PREOF;
4. A method of identifying the DetNet flow;
5. A method of carrying DetNet sequence number;
6. A method of carrying queuing and forwarding indication to do
congestion protection;
In this design, DetNet flows are encapsulated with SRH in the Ingress
Node. The SR policy in the SRH steers the DetNet flow along a
selected path. The explicit route allocated to a DetNet flow, which
protect it from temporary interruptions caused by the convergence of
routing, is encoded within the SID list of a SR policy. The network
device inside the DetNet domain forwards the packet according to IPv6
Destination Address(DA), and the IPv6 DA is updated with the SID
list.
With SRv6 network programming, the SID list can also give instruments
representing a function to be called at the node in the DetNet
domain. Therefore DetNet specific functions defined in
Geng & Mach Expires September 12, 2019 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft Abbreviated-Title March 2019
[I-D.ietf-detnet-architecture], corresponding to local packet
processing in the network, can also be implemented by SRv6. New
functions associated with SIDs for DetNet are defined in this
document.
This document describes how DetNet flows are encapsulated/identified,
and how functions of Packet Replication/Elimination/Ordering are
implemented in an SRv6 domain. Congestion protection is also in the
scope of this document.
Editor: This version only covers the functions of service protection
and the congestion protection considerations will be added in the
following versions.
5. SRv6 DetNet Data Plane Solution for Service Sub-layer
This section defines options of SRv6 data plane solution to support
DetNet Service Sub-layer.
5.1. TLV Based SRv6 Data Plane Solution
5.1.1. Encapsulation
An SRv6 Segment is a 128-bit value. SID is used as a shorter
reference for "SRv6 Segment". SRv6 SID can also be represented as
LOC:FUNCT, where LOC, abbreviated for "LOCATION", directs the
explicit route, FUNCT, abbreviated for "FUNCTION", directs the packet
processing in the local node
([I-D.filsfils-spring-srv6-network-programming]).
The SRH for DetNet in the outer IPv6 header is showed as follows:

Two new TLVs are defined to support DetNet service protection.
DetNet Flow Identification TLV is used to uniquely identify a DetNet
flow in an SRv6 DetNet node. DetNet sequence number is used to dis
crime packets in the same DetNet flow. They are defined as follows:
0 1 2 3
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1
