Hi Norm, Interesting viewpoint. Please see my comments inline: B.R.

[Frank] : I agree above analysis from aspect of data plane handling. But IMO the key points of hybrid L2/L3 network for DetNet is about resource allocation and path computation in control plane. And I think we already achieve a rough sync in the thread. > > Note that MPLS labels can go end-to-end, or as close to the ends as you want > them to go, as is normal for MPLS; you don’t need to get rid of MPLS when > going through the bridges.
