Deterministic Networking Data Plane: MPLS
RFC 8964, “Deterministic Networking Data Plane: MPLS”, is a Proposed Standard document published in January 2021 by B. Varga, J. Farkas, L. Berger, A. Malis, S. Bryant, J. Korhonen. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document specifies the Deterministic Networking (DetNet) data plane when operating over an MPLS Packet Switched Network. It leverages existing pseudowire (PW) encapsulations and MPLS Traffic Engineering (MPLS-TE) encapsulations and mechanisms. This document builds on the DetNet architecture and data plane framework.
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
