Maybe, but I find it a bit hard to parse.

"The DetNet MPLS Data Plane for DetNet uses point-to-point LSP to
transport DetNet Flows."

Isn't there at least one "DetNet to many in that sentence?

"The DetNet MPLS Data Plane DetNet flows..."

Agreed that the MPLS Data Plane for DetNet supports DetNet flows, but
does the data palne itself flow?

"...combined with pre-existing or future Per-Hop-Behavior (PHB)..."

First, is inconceivable that we define a PHB that does not contribute
to bounded latency?

Second, is PHB's the only thing that contribute to bounded latency?
