Hi Watson,

     I think Stewart's response really covers the main points. DetNet is 
really just MPLS (and IP) with some specific forwarding behaviors and 
queuing.  The only thing I'd add, is I see DetNet in general as a 
specific form of policy based routing. (The general form of which is 
pretty much as old as IP).
