Abstract

Various example embodiments for supporting scalable deterministic services in packet networks are presented. Various example embodiments for supporting scalable deterministic services in packet networks may be configured to support delay guarantees (e.g., finite end-to-end delay bounds) for a class of traffic flows referred to as guaranteed-delay (GD) traffic flows. Various example embodiments for supporting scalable deterministic services in packet networks may be configured to support delay guarantees for GD traffic flows of a network based on a queuing arrangement that is based on network outputs of the network, a packet scheduling method that is configured to support scheduling of packets of the GD traffic flows, and a service rate allocation rule configured to support delay guarantees for the GD traffic flows.
