Re: [Detnet] TSN scheduling/queuing algorithms and DetNet

Hi David,
thanks for bringing up this point!
Since I was not able to attend the meeting and I can not find any minutes or recording, I would love to get more background about this question, especially why you explicitly marked **algorithms** as bold.

For the use cases I am currently considering for DetNet (industrial control/vPLC and pro audio) the scaling requirements (time asynchrony, propagation latency...) are IMHO of lower importance at the moment. And for those scenarios my current working assumption is actually that all DetNet nodes that route on L3 between L2 TSN networks would be able to directly apply all TSN techniques (like Qbv and CQF) without any special consideration for them on L3. The only exception is that the L3 processing MIGHT take more time than L2 bridging and this might have to be taken into account e.g. when calculating a Qbv schedule. Do you agree or is there something I overlook?

Thanks,
Florian
