                   Deterministic Networking Use Cases
                     draft-ietf-detnet-use-cases-19

Abstract

   This draft presents use cases from diverse industries which have in
   common a need for "deterministic flows".  "Deterministic" in this
   context means that such flows provide guaranteed bandwidth, bounded
   latency, and other properties germane to the transport of time-
   sensitive data.  These use cases differ notably in their network
   topologies and specific desired behavior, providing as a group broad
   industry context for DetNet.  For each use case, this document will
   identify the use case, identify representative solutions used today,
   and describe potential improvements that DetNet can enable.  The Use
   Case Common Themes section then extracts and enumerates the set of
   common properties implied by these use cases.
