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.<a href="#section-3-3" class="pilcrow">¶</a></p>

The basic approach defined in <span>[<a href="#RFC8964" class="xref">RFC8964</a>]</span>
supports the DetNet service sub-layer based on existing PW
encapsulations and mechanisms and supports the DetNet forwarding
sub-layer based on existing MPLS Traffic Engineering encapsulations
and mechanisms.<a href="#section-4.1-1" class="pilcrow">¶</a></p>
<p id="section-4.1-2">
A node operating on a DetNet flow in the DetNet service sub-layer, i.e., a node processing a DetNet packet that has the S-Label as top of stack,
uses the local context associated with that S-Label. For example, a received
F-Label can be used to determine what local DetNet operation(s) is applied to that
packet. An S-Label may be unique when taken from the platform
label space <span>[<a href="#RFC3031" class="xref">RFC3031</a>]</span>, 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).<a href="#section-4.1-2" class="pilcrow">¶</a></p>
<p id="section-4.1-3">
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. The forwarding sub-layer is supported by one or more
forwarding labels (F-Labels).<a href="#section-4.1-3" class="pilcrow">¶</a></p>
<p id="section-4.1-4">
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 -- notably, support for
explicit routes and resource allocation to eliminate (or
reduce) congestion loss and jitter. Unlike other DetNet node types,
transit nodes provide no service sub-layer processing.<a href="#section-4.1-4" class="pilcrow">¶</a></p>

Note: Network fragmentation for DetNet is not supported and MUST be avoided. The reason for this is that network fragmentation is not consistent with the packet delivery times needed for DetNet. Therefore, when IP is used as the sub-network, IPv6 fragmentation MUST NOT be used, and IPv4 packets MUST be sent with the DF bit set. This means that the network operator MUST ensure that all the DetNet encapsulation overhead plus the maximum TSN App-flow frame size does not exceed the DetNet network's MTU.<a href="#section-4.2-4.1" class="pilcrow">¶</a></p>

possible between the TSN and the DetNet domains. Such service

Mappings between DetNet and TSN management and control planes are
out of scope of the document. Some of the challenges are
highlighted below.<a href="#section-6-5" class="pilcrow">¶</a></p>
<p id="section-6-6">
MPLS DetNet edge nodes are a 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 behave differently.
Therefore, management and control plane design is an important aspect
of scenarios where mapping between DetNet and TSN is required.<a href="#section-6-6" class="pilcrow">¶</a></p>
<p id="section-6-7">
Note that as the DetNet network is just a portion of the end-to-end TSN
path (i.e., single hop from the Ethernet perspective), some parameters
(e.g., delay) may differ significantly. Since there is no interworking
function, the bandwidth of the DetNet network is assumed to 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.<a href="#section-6-7" class="pilcrow">¶</a></p>
<p id="section-6-8">
In order to use a DetNet network to interconnect TSN segments,
TSN-specific information must be converted to DetNet-domain-specific information. TSN Stream ID(s) and stream-related
parameters/requirements must be converted to a DetNet flow ID and
flow-related parameters/requirements.<a href="#section-6-8" class="pilcrow">¶</a></p>
<p id="section-6-9">
In some cases, it may be challenging to determine some information related to the egress-node. For example, it may be not trivial to
locate the egress point/interface of a TSN Stream with a
multicast destination MAC address. Such scenarios may
require interaction between control and management plane
functions and between DetNet and TSN domains.<a href="#section-6-9" class="pilcrow">¶</a></p>
<p id="section-6-10">
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 the configuration of the TSN Stream identification functions
(e.g., Mask-and-Match Stream identification).<a href="#section-6-10" class="pilcrow">¶</a></p>
<p id="section-6-11">
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.<a href="#section-6-11" class="pilcrow">¶</a></p>
<p id="section-6-12">
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.<a href="#section-6-12" class="pilcrow">¶</a></p>
