Introduction Deterministic Networking (DetNet) is a service that can be offered by a network to DetNet flows. As defined in [RFC8655], DetNet flows provide deterministic services with guaranteed performance such as end-to-end delay and low packet loss rate for unicast or multicast data streams. DetNet assumes that the management controller can complete the path selection for the resources required by the service as to how to provide the guarantee of the underlying network resources to meet the requirement. As specified in 3GPP TS 28.530, network slicing is a paradigm where logical networks/partitions are created, with appropriate isolation, resources and optimized topology to serve a purpose or service Song & Wu Expires 3 November 2022 [Page 2] Internet-Draft DetNet Applied to IETF NS May 2022 category (e.g. use case/traffic category, or for MNO internal reasons) or customers (logical system created "on demand"). [I-D.ietf-teas-ietf-network-slices] provides the definition of network slice in the context of IETF network, the main characteristics, necessary components and interfaces for the general framework and realization involved of IETF Network Slice. This document provides the applicability of DetNet to Network Slice in the context of IETF. 2. Conventions 2.1.

Applicability of DetNet to Network Slice 3.1. Problem Statement DetNet is a service that provides a reliable or available service to DetNet flows through dedicating network resources such as link bandwidth, buffer space to DetNet individual flow or DetNet aggregation flows. To realize this object the management and control plane of DetNet needs support DetNet flow (including App-layer, service-layer and forwarding-layer flow) instantiation, resource reservation and allocation, path computation and route steering. In data plane DetNet supports packet replication, elimination and ordering function to reduce packet loss rate and jitter performance. Refer to [RFC8655] and [RFC8938], DetNet PREOF function for service protection in order to reduce packet loss and jitter performance. Except service protection, the necessary resource reservation and allocation are feasible to eliminate packet congestion and avoiding packet loss; optimization for path computation needs be based on a set of constraints of some specific network requirements. To realize resource reservation and path computation it's recommended to use existing technologies, such as RSVP-TE, BGP, SR, etc. From the discussion on network slicing at IETF TEAS WG we know that the resource guarantee of a specific service requires the closed-loop management of resource exposure, resource reservation, resource occupation, resource optimization and other aspects, and the existing technology may not be enough to support that. Refer to [I-D.ietf-teas-ietf-network-slices] the network slicing technology can provide necessary network resources to meet the service requirements of users while realizing the SLO/SLE requirements for user services. By applying network slicing technology to DetNet, resource guarantee can be achieved for deterministic networking services. On the other hand, network slicing with ultra-high reliability or ultra-low latency guarantee requires the processing of packets with the help of DetNet-specific queuing technology. 3.2. Use Case Refer to [RFC8578] provides DetNet use cases which include DetNet applied to Network Slicing described in section 10: * Resource isolation across slices. Song & Wu Expires 3 November 2022 [Page 4] Internet-Draft DetNet Applied to IETF NS May 2022 * Deterministic services within slices. With the applicability of DetNet to Network Slice, not only the network capability (such as end-to-end latency, bounded jitter and low packet loss ratio) the DetNet concerns be satisfied, but also the necessary network resource reserved and allocated the IETF Network Slice concerns to be supported. There are also limitations for DetNet applied to Network Slicing, e.g., mainly used for latency- sensitive service, only support P2P and P2MP connectivity, etc. The resolve for these limitations are out of the scope of this document. This document mainly outlines the applicability of DetNet to Network Slice for latency-sensitive service. 3.3. Modes of IETF Network Slice Selection This document provides three modes of IETF Network Slice selection operations as associated with DetNet follows. Additional modes may be defined in the future. * New IETF Network Slice Binding - A customer may request a DetNet service with requirements guarantee, e.g., end-to-end latency, latency variation, jitter, etc. To satisfy the customer's requirements on network resource it's recommended to bind DetNet flows with an IETF Network Slice instance. The YANG model described in Section 5 of this document provides the mapping between DetNet flows with anew IETF Network Slice. * IETF Network Slice Sharing - A customer may request a DetNet service with requirement guarantee where a new IETF Network Slice do not need to be created but be shared with other multiple DetNet flows. The mapping YANG model described in Section 5 of this document provides the mapping between DetNet flows with an IETF Network Slice in use. No modification of the properties of an IETF Network Slice is allowed in this mode. * IETF Network Slice Modification - This mode allows the modification of the properties of the existing IETF Network Slice (e.g., bandwidth, latency, etc.). IETF Network Slice Mapping Template - A policy profile which contains network constraints and optimization criteria is used for mapping DetNet flows to one/more certain IETF Network Slice instance. 4. Mapping DetNet with Network Slice Song & Wu Expires 3 November 2022 [Page 5] Internet-Draft DetNet Applied to IETF NS May 2022 4.1. Mapping Requirements DetNet service is per flow (including app-layer, service-layer and forwarding-layer flow), performs traffic processing based on the identification for flow/flow aggregation. Differences in IETF Network Slice service are considered in terms of Network Resource Partition. [I-D.bestbar-teas-ns-packet] introduces a mechanism to associate Network Resource Partition (NRP) with Slice-Flow Aggregate. If DetNet applied to IETF Network Slice, the DetNet-flow/flow aggregation is considered as the slice-flow/flow aggregation over the underlying NRP. Requirements for Network Slice mapping with deterministic networking services: * The mapping of deterministic services with underlying network slice resources is necessary. It may include: - Service endpoint mapping between DetNet Edge Node and IETF Network Slice SDP. - Access service mapping between DetNet UNI and IETF Network Slice AC. - Instance mapping between DetNet-flow/flow aggregations with IETF Network Slice. * The creation request for network slice instance to be bounded with one specific deterministic flow/flow aggregation instances should be supported. * The sharing of network slice instance for one or more deterministic flow/flow aggregation instances SHOULD be supported. * Configurations for a new network slice instance to provide necessary underlying resource to deterministic services is necessary. * Modification for an existing network slice instance applied to one or more DetNet flow SHOULD be supported. 4.2. Mapping Process * APP-flow packets is instantiated as DetNet service awareness flow. Song & Wu Expires 3 November 2022 [Page 6] Internet-Draft DetNet Applied to IETF NS May 2022 * If there is an existing IETF Network Slice instance which satisfies the network resource requirements of the DetNet customer. After check the feasibility of the IETF Network Slice instance bound to DetNet flows, request mapping DetNet-flow/flow aggregations with IETF Network Slice instance. * If there is no IETF Network Slice available, a new IETF Network Slice instance creation is required. * The mapping of DetNet flow with IETF Network Slice is configured and stored in management plane. The mapping policy of DetNet flow associated with underlying network resource partition (NRP) is programmed to the DetNet or IETF Network Slice Nodes (such as SDP, P nodes, etc.) through YANG data models. * In data plane, the DetNet or IETF Network Slice Nodes complete the identification of deterministic service flows (such as IP 6-tuple, MPLS labels, etc.) and correspond with one specific network slice instance , realize the slice awareness of DetNet flow/flow aggregation. Through the network resource occupation of hop-by- hop nodes along the path, network resources required by the deterministic networking service flow is guaranteed. 5. YANG Modeling Approach This section provides how the DetNet and IETF Network Slice Service mapping parameters are supported using augmentation of the existing DetNet service models (i.e., [I-D.ietf-detnet-yang]). It identifies the YANG data models being defined by the IETF to support this deployment architecture and specific scenarios relevant for Service Providers.
