Framework of Operations, Administration, and Maintenance for Deterministic Networking

Overview

RFC 9551, “Framework of Operations, Administration, and Maintenance for Deterministic Networking”, is an Informational document published in March 2024 by G. Mirsky, F. Theoleyre, G. Papadopoulos, CJ. Bernardos, B. Varga, J. Farkas. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

Deterministic Networking (DetNet), as defined in RFC 8655, aims to provide bounded end-to-end latency on top of the network infrastructure, comprising both Layer 2 bridged and Layer 3 routed segments. This document's primary purpose is to detail the specific requirements of the Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) recommended to maintain a deterministic network. The document will be used in future work that defines the applicability of and extension of OAM protocols for a deterministic network. With the implementation of the OAM framework in DetNet, an operator will have a real-time view of the network infrastructure regarding the network's ability to respect the Service Level Objective (SLO), such as packet delay, delay variation, and packet-loss ratio, assigned to each DetNet flow.
