Deterministic Networking Data Plane: IP over MPLS
Overview
RFC 9056, “Deterministic Networking Data Plane: IP over MPLS”, is a Proposed Standard document published in October 2021 by B. Varga, L. Berger, D. Fedyk, S. Bryant, J. Korhonen. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document specifies the Deterministic Networking data plane when encapsulating IP over an MPLS packet-switched network.
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.
