1.  Introduction

   The Time-Sensitive Networking Task Group (TSN TG) within IEEE 802.1
   Working Group deals with deterministic services through IEEE 802
   networks.  Deterministic Networking (DetNet) defined by IETF is a
   service that can be offered by a L3 network to DetNet flows.  General
   background and concepts of DetNet can be found in [RFC8655].

   This document specifies the use of a DetNet MPLS network to
   interconnect TSN nodes/network segments.  DetNet MPLS data plane is
   defined in [RFC8964].

3.  IEEE 802.1 TSN Over DetNet MPLS Data Plane Scenario

   Figure 1 shows IEEE 802.1 TSN end stations operating over a TSN aware
   DetNet service running over an MPLS network.  DetNet Edge Nodes sit
   at the boundary of a DetNet domain.  They are responsible for mapping
   non-DetNet aware L2 traffic to DetNet services.  They also support
   the imposition and disposition of the required DetNet encapsulation.
   These are functionally similar to pseudowire (PW) Terminating
   Provider Edge (T-PE) nodes which use MPLS-TE LSPs.  In this example
   TSN Streams are simple applications over DetNet flows.  The specific
   of this operation are discussed later in this document.

   In this example, edge nodes provide a service proxy function that
   "associates" the DetNet flows and native flows (i.e., TSN Streams) at
   the edge of the DetNet domain.  TSN streams are treated as App-flows
   for DetNet.  The whole DetNet domain behaves as a TSN relay node for
   the TSN streams.  The service proxy behaves as a port of that TSN
   relay node.

   Figure 2 illustrates how DetNet can provide services for IEEE 802.1
   TSN end systems, CE1 and CE2, over a DetNet enabled MPLS network.
   Edge nodes, E1 and E2, insert and remove required DetNet data plane
   encapsulation.  The 'X' in the edge nodes and relay node, R1,
   represent a potential DetNet compound flow packet replication and
   elimination point.  This conceptually parallels L2VPN services, and
   could leverage existing related solutions as discussed below.

4.  DetNet MPLS Data Plane

4.1.  Overview

   The basic approach defined in [RFC8964] supports the DetNet service
   sub-layer based on existing pseudowire (PW) encapsulations and
   mechanisms, and supports the DetNet forwarding sub-layer based on
   existing MPLS Traffic Engineering encapsulations and mechanisms.

   A node operating on a DetNet flow in the Detnet service sub-layer,
   i.e.  a node processing a DetNet packet which has the S-Label as top
   of stack uses the local context associated with that S-Label, for
   example a received F-Label, to determine what local DetNet
   operation(s) are applied to that packet.  An S-Label may be unique
   when taken from the platform label space [RFC3031], which would
   enable correct DetNet flow identification regardless of which input
   interface or LSP the packet arrives on.  The service sub-layer
   functions (i.e., PREOF) use a DetNet control word (d-CW).

   The DetNet MPLS data plane builds on MPLS Traffic Engineering
   encapsulations and mechanisms to provide a forwarding sub-layer that
   is responsible for providing resource allocation and explicit routes.

Internet-Draft            TSN over DetNet MPLS             February 2021


   The forwarding sub-layer is supported by one or more forwarding
   labels (F-Labels).

   DetNet edge/relay nodes are DetNet service sub-layer aware,
   understand the particular needs of DetNet flows and provide both
   DetNet service and forwarding sub-layer functions.  They add, remove
   and process d-CWs, S-Labels and F-labels as needed.  MPLS DetNet
   nodes and transit nodes include DetNet forwarding sub-layer
   functions, support for notably explicit routes, and resources
   allocation to eliminate (or reduce) congestion loss and jitter.
   Unlike other DetNet node types, transit nodes provide no service sub-
   layer processing.

4.2.  TSN over DetNet MPLS Encapsulation

   The basic encapsulation approach is to treat a TSN Stream as an App-
   flow from the DetNet MPLS perspective.  The corresponding example
   shown in Figure 3.

5.  TSN over MPLS Data Plane Procedures

   Description of Edge Nodes procedures and functions for TSN over
   DetNet MPLS scenario follows the concept of [RFC3985] and covers the
   Edge Nodes components shown on Figure 1.  In this section the
   following procedures of DetNet Edge Nodes are described:

   o  TSN related (Section 5.1)

   o  DetNet Service Proxy (Section 5.2)

   o  DetNet service and forwarding sub-layer (Section 5.3)

   The sub-sections describe procedures for forwarding packets by DetNet
   Edge nodes, where such packets are received from either directly
   connected CEs (TSN nodes) or some other DetNet Edge nodes.

5.1.  Edge Node TSN Procedures

   The Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) Task Group of the IEEE 802.1
   Working Group have defined (and are defining) a number of amendments
   to IEEE 802.1Q [IEEE8021Q] that provide zero congestion loss and
   bounded latency in bridged networks.  IEEE 802.1CB [IEEE8021CB]
   defines packet replication and elimination functions for a TSN
   network.

   The implementation of TSN entity (i.e., TSN packet processing
   functions) must be compliant with the relevant IEEE 802.1 standards.

   TSN specific functions are executed on the data received by the
   DetNet Edge Node from the connected CE before forwarded to connected
   CE(s) or presentation to the DetNet Service Proxy function for
   transmission across the DetNet domain.  TSN specific functions are
   also executed on the data received from a DetNet PW by a PE before
   the data is output on the Attachment Circuit(s) (AC).

   TSN packet processing function(s) of Edge Nodes (T-PE) are belonging
   to the native service processing (NSP) [RFC3985] block.  This is
   similar to other functionalities being defined by standard bodies
   other than the IETF (for example in case of Ethernet: stripping,
   overwriting or adding VLAN tags, etc.).  Depending on the TSN role of
   the Edge Node in the end-to-end TSN service selected TSN functions
   are supported.

   When a PE receives a packet from a CE, on a given AC with DetNet
   service, it first checks via Stream Identification (see Clause 6. of
   IEEE 802.1CB [IEEE8021CB] and IEEE P802.1CBdb [IEEEP8021CBdb])
   whether the packet belongs to a configured TSN Stream (i.e., App-flow



Varga, et al.            Expires August 16, 2021                [Page 8]


Internet-Draft            TSN over DetNet MPLS             February 2021


   from DetNet perspective).  If no Stream ID is matched and no other
   (VPN) service is configured for the AC, then packet MUST be dropped.
   If there is a matching TSN Stream, then the Stream ID specific TSN
   functions are executed (e.g., ingress policing, header field
   manipulation in case of active Stream Identification, FRER, etc.).
   Source MAC lookup may also be used for local MAC address learning.

   If the PE decides to forward the packet, the packet MUST be forwarded
   according to the TSN Stream specific configuration to connected CE(s)
   (in case of local bridging) and/or to the DetNet Service Proxy (in
   case of forwarding to remote CE(s)).  If there are no TSN Stream
   specific forwarding configurations, the PE MUST flood the packet to
   other locally attached CE(s) and to the DetNet Service Proxy.  If the
   administrative policy on the PE does not allow flooding, the PE MUST
   drop the packet.

   When a TSN entity of the PE receives a packet from the DetNet Service
   Proxy, it first checks via Stream Identification (see Clause 6. of
   IEEE 802.1CB [IEEE8021CB] and IEEE P802.1CBdb [IEEEP8021CBdb])
   whether the packet belongs to a configured TSN Stream.  If no Stream
   ID is matched, then packet is dropped.  If there is a matching TSN
   Stream, then the Stream ID specific TSN functions are executed (e.g.,
   header field manipulation in case of active Stream Identification,
   FRER, etc.).  Source MAC lookup may also be used for local MAC
   address learning.

   If the PE decides to forward the packet, the packet is forwarded
   according to the TSN Stream specific configuration to connected
   CE(s).  If there are no TSN Stream specific forwarding
   configurations, the PE floods the packet to locally attached CE(s).
   If the administrative policy on the PE does not allow flooding, the
   PE drops the packet.

   Implementations of this document SHALL use management and control
   information to ensure TSN specific functions of the Edge Node
   according to the expectations of the connected TSN network.

5.2.  Edge Node DetNet Service Proxy Procedures

   The Service Proxy function maps between App-flows and DetNet flows.
   The DetNet Edge Node TSN entity MUST support the TSN Stream
   identification functions and the related managed objects as defined
   in Clause 6. and Clause 9. of IEEE 802.1CB [IEEE8021CB] and IEEE
   P802.1CBdb [IEEEP8021CBdb] to recognize the App-flow related packets.
   The Service Proxy presents TSN Streams as an App-flow to a DetNet
   Flow.

Internet-Draft            TSN over DetNet MPLS             February 2021


   When a DetNet Service Proxy receives a packet from the TSN Entity it
   MUST check whether such an App-flow is present in its mapping table.
   If present it associates the internal DetNet flow-ID to the packet
   and MUST forward it to the DetNet Service and Forwarding sub-layers.
   If no matching statement is present it MUST drop the packet.

   When a DetNet Service Proxy receives a packet from the DetNet Service
   and Forwarding sub-layers it MUST be forwarded to the Edge Node TSN
   Entity.

   Implementations of this document SHALL use management and control
   information to map a TSN Stream to a DetNet flow.  N:1 mapping
   (aggregating multiple TSN Streams in a single DetNet flow) SHALL be
   supported.  The management or control function that provisions flow
   mapping SHALL ensure that adequate resources are allocated and
   configured to provide proper service requirements of the mapped
   flows.

   Due to the (intentional) similarities of the DetNet PREOF and TSN
   FRER functions service protection function interworking is possible
   between the TSN and the DetNet domains.  Such service protection
   interworking scenarios MAY require to copy sequence number fields
   from TSN (L2) to PW (MPLS) encapsulation.  However, such interworking
   is out-of-scope in this document and left for further study.

5.3.  Edge Node DetNet Service and Forwarding Sub-Layer Procedures

   In the design of [RFC8964] an MPLS service label (the S-Label),
   similar to a pseudowire (PW) label [RFC3985], is used to identify
   both the DetNet flow identity and the payload MPLS payload type.  The
   DetNet sequence number is carried in the DetNet Control word (d-CW)
   which carries the Data/OAM discriminator as well.  In [RFC8964] two
   sequence number sizes are supported: a 16 bit sequence number and a
   28 bit sequence number.

   PREOF functions and the provided service recovery is available only
   within the DetNet domain as the DetNet flow-ID and the DetNet
   sequence number are not valid outside the DetNet network.  MPLS
   (DetNet) Edge node terminates all related information elements
   encoded in the MPLS labels.

   When a PE receives a packet from the Service Proxy function it MUST
   handle the packet as defined in [RFC8964].

   When a PE receives an MPLS packet from a remote PE, then, after
   processing the MPLS label stack, if the top MPLS label ends up being
   a DetNet S-label that was advertised by this node, then the PE MUST
   forward the packet according to the configured DetNet Service and

   Forwarding sub-layer rules to other PE nodes or via the Detnet
   Service Proxy function towards locally connected CE(s).

   For further details on DetNet Service and Forwarding sub-layers see
   [RFC8964].

6.  Controller Plane (Management and Control) Considerations

   TSN Stream(s) to DetNet flow mapping related information are required
   only for the service proxy function of MPLS (DetNet) Edge nodes.
   From the Data Plane perspective there is no practical difference
   based on the origin of flow mapping related information (management
   plane or control plane).

   The following summarizes the set of information that is needed to
   configure TSN over DetNet MPLS:

   o  TSN related configuration information according to the TSN role of
      the DetNet MPLS node, as per [IEEE8021Q], [IEEE8021CB] and
      [IEEEP8021CBdb].

   o  DetNet MPLS related configuration information according to the
      DetNet role of the DetNet MPLS node, as per [RFC8964].

   o  App-Flow identification information to map received TSN Stream(s)
      to the DetNet flow.  Parameters of TSN stream identification are
      defined in [IEEE8021CB] and [IEEEP8021CBdb].

   This information MUST be provisioned per DetNet flow.

   Mappings between DetNet and TSN management and control planes are out
   of scope of the document.  Some of the challanges are highligthed
   below.

   MPLS DetNet Edge nodes are member of both the DetNet domain and the
   connected TSN network.  From the TSN network perspective the MPLS
   (DetNet) Edge node has a "TSN relay node" role, so TSN specific
   management and control plane functionalities must be implemented.
   There are many similarities in the management plane techniques used
   in DetNet and TSN, but that is not the case for the control plane
   protocols.  For example, RSVP-TE and MSRP behaves differently.
   Therefore management and control plane design is an important aspect
   of scenarios, where mapping between DetNet and TSN is required.

   Note that, as the DetNet network is just a portion of the end to end
   TSN path (i.e., single hop from Ethernet perspective), some
   parameters (e.g., delay) may differ significantly.  Since there is no
   interworking function the bandwidth of DetNet network is assumed to

Internet-Draft            TSN over DetNet MPLS             February 2021


   be set large enough to handle all TSN Flows it will support.  At the
   egress of the Detnet Domain the MPLS headers are stripped and the TSN
   flow continues on as a normal TSN flow.

   In order to use a DetNet network to interconnect TSN segments, TSN
   specific information must be converted to DetNet domain specific
   ones.  TSN Stream ID(s) and stream(s) related parameters/requirements
   must be converted to a DetNet flow-ID and flow related parameters/
   requirements.

   In some case it may be challenging to determine some egress node
   related information.  For example, it may be not trivial to locate
   the egress point/interface of a TSN Streams with a multicast
   destination MAC address.  Such scenarios may require interaction
   between control and management plane functions and between DetNet and
   TSN domains.

   Mapping between DetNet flow identifiers and TSN Stream identifiers,
   if not provided explicitly, can be done by the service proxy function
   of an MPLS (DetNet) Edge node locally based on information provided
   for configuration of the TSN Stream identification functions (e.g.,
   Mask-and-Match Stream identification).

   Triggering the setup/modification of a DetNet flow in the DetNet
   network is an example where management and/or control plane
   interactions are required between the DetNet and the TSN network.

   Configuration of TSN specific functions (e.g., FRER) inside the TSN
   network is a TSN domain specific decision and may not be visible in
   the DetNet domain.  Service protection interworking scenarios are
   left for further study.

7.  Security Considerations

   Security considerations for DetNet are described in detail in
   [I-D.ietf-detnet-security].  General security considerations are
   described in [RFC8655].

   DetNet MPLS data plane specific considerations are summarized and
   described in [RFC8964] including any application flow types.  This
   document focuses on the scenario where TSN Streams are the
   application flows for DetNet and it is already covered by those
   DetNet MPLS data plane security considerations.
