Section 7.

5.1. Examples of Computations 5.2.1. Per-flow queuing mechanisms
5.1.1. Per-flow queuing With such mechanisms, each flow uses a separate queue inside every
node. The service for each queue is abstracted with a guaranteed
rate and a delay. For every flow the per-node delay bound as well as
end-to-end delay bound can be computed from the traffic specification
of this flow at its source and from the values of rates and latencies
at all nodes along its path. Details of calculation for IntServ are
described in Section 7.5.

GIVEN FOR PER-FLOW QUEUING]]
5.1.2. Time-Sensitive Networking with Asynchronous Traffic Shaping With such mechanisms, the flows that have the same class share the
same queue. A practical example is the queuing mechanism in Time
Sensitive Networking. One key issue in this context is how to deal
with the burstiness cascade: individual flows that share a resource
dedicated to a class may see their burstiness increase, which may in
turn cause increased burstiness to other flows downstream of this
resource. Computing latency upper bounds for such cases is
difficult, and in some conditions impossible
[charny2000delay][bennett2002delay]. Also, when bounds are obtained,
they depend on the complete configuration, and must be recomputed
when one flow is added.
Figure 2 shows an example of a network with 5 nodes, which have the A solution to deal with this issue is to reshape the flows at every
queuing model as Section 7.3. An end-to-end delay bound for flow f hop. This can be done with per-flow regulators (e.g. leaky bucket
of a given AVB class (A or B), traversing from node 1 to 5, is shapers), but this requires per-flow queuing and defeats the purpose
calculated as following: of per-class queuing. An alternative is the interleaved regulator,
which reshapes individual flows without per-flow queuing
([Specht2016UBS], [IEEE8021Qcr]"). With an interleaved regulator,
the packet at the head of the queue is regulated based on its (flow)
regulation constraints; it is released at the earliest time at which
this is possible without violating the constraint. One key feature
of per-flow or interleaved regulator is that, it does not increase
worst-case latency bounds [le_boudec_theory_2018]. Specifically,
when an interleaved regulator is appended to a FIFO subsystem, it
does not increase the worst-case delay of the latter.
Figure 2 shows an example of a network with 5 nodes, per-class
queuing mechanism and interleaved regulators as in Figure 1. An end-
to-end delay bound for flow f, traversing nodes 1 to 5, is calculated
as follows:
end_to_end_latency_bound_of_flow_f = C12 + C23 + C34 + S4 end_to_end_latency_bound_of_flow_f = C12 + C23 + C34 + S4

Figure 4: IEEE 802.1Q Queuing Model: Data flow with preemption
From Figure 4, we can see that, in the IEEE 802 model, the preemption
feature is modeled as consisting of two MAC/PHY stacks, one for
packets that can be interrupted, and one for packets that can
interrupt the interruptible packets. The Class of Service (queue)
determines which packets are which. In Figure 4, the classes of
service are marked "a, b, ..." instead of with numbers, in order to
avoid any implication about which numeric Layer 2 priority values
correspond to preemptible or preempting queues. Although it shows
three queues going to the preemptible MAC/PHY, any assignment is
possible.
7.2.2. Transmission Selection Model
In Figure 5, we expand the "Transmission selection" function of
Figure 4.
Figure 5 does NOT show the data path. It shows an example of a
configuration of the IEEE 802.1Q transmission selection box shown in
Figure 3 and Figure 4. Each queue m presents a "Class m Ready"
signal. These signals go through various logic, filters, and state
machines, until a single queue's "not empty" signal is chosen for
presentation to the underlying MAC/PHY. When the MAC/PHY is ready to
take another output packet, then a packet is selected from the one
queue (if any) whose signal manages to pass all the way through the
transmission selection function.

Figure 5: 802.1Q Transmission Selection
The following explanatory notes apply to Figure 5
o The numbers in the "Class n Ready" boxes are the values of the
Layer 2 priority that are assigned to that Class of Service in
this example. The rightmost CoS is the most important, the
leftmost the least. Classes 2 and 3 are made the most important,
because they carry DetNet flows. It is all right to make them
more important than the priority 7 queue, which typically carries
critical network control protocols such as spanning tree or IS-IS,
because the shaper ensures that the highest priority best-effort
queue (7) will get reasonable access to the MAC/PHY. Note that
Class 5 has no Ready signal, indicating that that queue is empty.
o Below the Class Ready signals are shown the Priority Flow Control
gates (IEEE Std 802.1Qbb-2011 Priority-based Flow Control, now
[IEEE8021Q] clause 36) on Classes of Service 1, 0, 4, and 5, and
two 802.1Q shapers, A and B. Perhaps shaper A conforms to the
IEEE Std 802.1Qav-2009 (now [IEEE8021Q] clause 34) credit-based
shaper, and shaper B conforms to [IEEE8021Qcr] Asynchronous
Traffic Shaper. Any given Class of Service can have either a PFC
function or a shaper, but not both.
o Next are the IEEE Std 802.1Qbv time gates ([IEEE8021Qbv]). Each
one of the 8 Classes of Service has a time gate. The gates are
controlled by a repeating schedule that restarts periodically, and
can be programmed to turn any combination of gates on or off with
nanosecond precision. (Although the implementation is not
necessarily that accurate.)
o Following the time gates, any number of Classes of Service can be
linked to one ore more instances of the Enhanced Transmission
Selection function. This does weighted fair queuing among the
members of its group.
o A final selection of the one queue to be selected for output is In IEEE Std 802.1Q, preemption is modeled as consisting of two MAC/
made by strict priority. Note that the priority is determined not PHY stacks, one for packets that can be interrupted, and one for
by the Layer 2 priority, but by the Class of Service. packets that can interrupt the interruptible packets. The Class of
Service (queue) determines which packets are which. Only one layer
of preemption is supported. DetNet flows pass through the
interrupting MAC. Only best-effort queues pass through the
interruptible MAC, and can thus be preempted.
o An "XXX" in the lower margin of a box (e.g. "Prio. 5 PFC" 7.3. Time-scheduled queuing

7.4. Other queuing models, e.g. IntServ Details of end-to-end delay bound calculation in such a system is
described in [TSNwithATS].
[[NWF More sections that discuss specific models]] 7.5. IntServ
8. Parameters for the bounded latency model In this section, a worst-case queuing latency calculating method is
provided. In deterministic network, the traffic of a flow is
constrained by arrival curve. Queuing mechanisms in a DetNet node
can be characterized and constrained by service curve. By using
arrival curve and service curve with Network Calculus theory
[NetCalBook], a tight worst-case queuing latency can be calculated.
8.1. Sender parameters Considering a DetNet flow at output port, R(s) is the cumulative
arrival data until time s. For any time period t, the incremental
arrival data is constrained by an arrival curve a(t)
8.2. Relay system parameters R(s+t)-R(s) <= a(t), \any s>=0, t>=0
[[NWF This section talks about the paramters that must be passed hop- The scheduling that a relay node performs to a DetNet flow can be
by-hop (T-SPEC? F-SPEC?) by a resoure reservation protocol.]] abstracted as service curve. It describes the minimal service the
network can offer. The service curve b(t) of a node is defined as
below, if the accumulative input data R and output data R_out of the
node satisfies
9. References R_out(t) >= inf(R(s) + b(t-s) ), \any s <=t
9.1. Normative References where the operator "inf" calculates the greatest lower bound in
period t.
By calculating the maximum vertical deviation between arrival curve
a(t) and service curve b(t), one can obtain the backlog bound in data
unit
Backlog_bound = sup_t(a(t) - b(t) )
where operator "sup_t" calculates the minimum upper bound with
respect to t. The buffer space at a node should be no less than the
backlog bound to achieve zero congestion loss.
NOTE: Section 6.1 gives a general formula for computing the buffer
requirements. This is an alternative calculation based on the
arrival curve and service curve.
By calculating the maximum horizontal deviation between arrival curve
a(t) and service curve b(t), one can obtain the delay bound as below
Delay_bound = sup_s( inf_t( t>=0 | a(s) <= b(s+t) )
where the operator " inf_t" calculates the maximum lower bound with
respect to t, the operator "sup_s" calculates the minimum upper bound
with respect to s. Figure 5 shows an example of arival curve,
service curve, backlog bound h, and delay bound v.

Figure 5: Computation of backlog bound and delay bound. Note that
arrival and service curves are not necessary to be linear.
Note that in the formula of Delay_bound, the service curve b(t) can
describe either per-hop scheduling that a DetNet node offers to a
flow, or concatenation of multiple nodes that represents end-to-end
scheduling that DetNet path offers to a flow. In the latter case,
the obtained delay bound is end-to-end worst case delay. To
calculate this, we should at first derive the concatenated service
curve.
Consider a flow traverse two DetNet nodes, which offer service curve
b1(t) and b2(t) sequentially. Then concatenation of the two nodes
offers a service curve b_concatenated as below
b_concatenated(t) =inf_s (b1(s) + b2(t-s) ) , \any 0 <=s <=t
The concatenation of service curve can be directly generalized to
include more than two nodes.
a_out(t) = sup_u( a(t+u) - b(u) ), \any u>=0
In DetNet, the arrival curve and service curve can be characterized
by a group of parameters, which will be defined in Section 8.
Integrated service (IntServ) is an architecture that specifies the
elements to guarantee quality of service (QoS) on networks. To
satisfied guaranteed service, a flow must conform to a traffic
specification (T-spec), and reservation is made along a path, only if
routers are able to guarantee the required bandwidth and buffer.
Consider the traffic model which conforms to token bucket regulator
(r, b), with
o Token bucket depth (b).
o Token bucket rate (r).
The traffic specification can be described as an arrival curve a(t)
alpha(t) = b + rt
This token bucket regulator requires that, during any time window of
width t, the number of bit for the flow is limited by alpha(t) = b +
rt.
If resource reservation on a path is applied, IntServ model on a
router can be described as a rate-latency service curve beta(t).
beta(t) = max(0, R(t-T))
It describes that bits might have to wait up to T before being served
with a rate greater or equal to R.
It should be noted that, the guaranteed service rate R is a share of
link's bandwidth. The choice of R is related to the specification of
flows which will transmit on this node. For example, in strict
priority policy, considering a flow with priority j, its share of
bandwidth may be R=c-sum(r_i), i<j, where c is the link bandwidth,
r_i is the token bucket rate for the flows with priority higher than
j. The choice of T is also related to the specification of all the
flows traversing this node. For example, in a generalized processor
sharing (GPS) node, T = L / R + L_max/c, where L is the maximum
packet size for the flow, L_max is the maximum packet size in the
node across all flows. Other choice of R and T are also supported,
according to the specific scheduling of the node and flows traversing
this node.
As mentioned previously in this section, delay bound and backlog
bound can be easily obtained by comparing arrival curve and service
curve. Backlog bound, or buffer bound, is the maximum vertical
derivation between curves alpha(t) and beta(t), which is x=b+rT.
Delay bound is the maximum horizontal derivation between curves
alpha(t) and beta(t), which is d = T+b/R. Graphical illustration of
the IntServ model is shown in Figure 5.
The output bound, or the next-hop arrival curve, is alpha_out(t) = b
+ rT + rt, where burstiness of the flow is increased by rT, compared
with the arrival curve.
We can calculate the end-to-end delay bound, for a path including N
nodes, among which the i-th node offers service curve beta_i(t),
beta_i(t) = max(0, R_i(t-T_i)), i=1,...,N
According to [Section 5.1], by concatenating those IntServ nodes, an
end-to-end service curve can be computed as
beta_e2e (t) = max(0, R_e2e(t-T_e2e) )
where
R_e2e = min(R_1,..., R_N)
T_e2e = T_1 + ... + T_N
Similarly, delay bound, backlog bound and output bound can be
computed by using the original arrival curve alpha(t) and
concatenated service curve beta_e2e(t).
8. Time-based DetNet QoS
8.1. Cyclic Queuing and Forwarding
[IEEE802.1Qci] and [IEEE802.1Qch] describe Cyclic Queuing and
Forwarding (CQF), which provide the bounded latency and zero
congestion loss using the time-scheduled gates of [IEEE8021Qbv]. For
each different DetNet class of service, a set of two or three buffers
is provided at the out queue layer of Figure 3. A cycle time is
configured for each class, and all of the buffer sets in a class swap
buffers simultaneously throughout the DetNet domain at that cycle
rate. The choice of using two or three buffers depends on the link
lengths and forwarding delay times; two buffers can be used if the
delay from hop to hop is nearly an integral number of cycle times,
and three are required if not. Flows are assigned to a class of
service only until the amount of data to be transmitted in one cycle
would exceed the cycle time for some interface. Every packet dwells
either two or three cycles at each hop, so the calculation of worst-
case latency and latency variation is trivial.
8.2. Time Scheduled Queuing
[IEEE8021Qbv] specifies a time-aware queue-draining procedure for
transmission selection at egress port of a relay node, which supports
up to eight traffic classes. Each traffic class has a separate
queue, frame transmission from each queue is allowed or prevented by
a time gate. This time gate controlled scheduling allows time-
sensitive traffic classes to transmit on dedicate time slots. Within
the time slots, the transmitting flows can be granted exclusive use
of the transmission medium. Generally, this time-aware scheduling is
a layer 2 time division multiplexing (TDM) technique.
Consider the static configuration of a deterministic network. To
provide end-to-end latency guaranteed service, network nodes can
support time-based behavior, which is determined by gate control list
(GCL). GCL defines the gate operation, in open or closed state, with
associated timing for each traffic class queue. A time slice with
gate state "open" is called transmission window. The time-based
traffic scheduling must be coordinated among the relay nodes along
the path from sender to receiver, to control the transmission of
time-sensitive traffic.
Ideally all network devices are time synchronized and static GCL
configurations on all devices along the routed path are coordinated
to ensure that length of transmission window fits the assigned
frames, and no two time windows for DetNet traffic on the same port
overlap. (DetNet flows' windows can overlap with best-effort
windows, so that unused DetNet bandwidth is available to best-effort
traffic.) The processing delay, link delay and output delay in
transmitting are considered in GCL computation. Transmission window
for a certain flow may require that a time offset on consecutive hops
be selected to reduce queueing delay as much as possible. In this
case, TSN/DetNet frames transmit at the assigned transmission window
at every node through the routed path, with zero congestion loss and
bounded end-to-end latency. Then, the worst-case end-to-end latency
of flow can be derived from GCL configuration. For a TSN or DetNet
frame, denote the transmission window on last hop closes at
gate_close_time_last_hop. Assuming talker supports scheduled traffic
behavior, it starts the transmission at gate_open_time_on_talker.
Then worst case end-to-end delay of this flow is bounded by
gate_close_time_last_hop - gate_open_time_on_talker +
link_delay_last_hop.
It should be noted that scheduled traffic service relies on a
synchronized network and coordinated GCL configuration. Synthesis of
GCL on multiple nodes in network is a scheduling problem considering
all TSN/DetNet flows traversing the network, which is a non-
deterministic polynomial-time hard (NP-hard) problem. Also, at this
writing, scheduled traffic service supports no more than eight
traffic classes, typically using up to seven priority classes and at
least one best effort class.
