Title: Deterministic Networking (DetNet) Controller Plane Framework
Reviewer: Kyle Rose
Review result: Ready

This document has been reviewed as part of the transport area review team's
ongoing effort to review key IETF documents. These comments were written
primarily for the transport area directors, but are copied to the document's
authors and WG to allow them to address any issues raised and also to the IETF
discussion list for information.

When done at the time of IETF Last Call, the authors should consider this
review as part of the last-call comments they receive. Please always CC

The summary of this review is Ready.

# Summary

This document provides a high-level overview of the structure and
responsibilities of the DetNet "Controller Plane", a combined control and
management plane. Specific technologies relevant to transport are mentioned
(e.g., MPLS, segment routing), but are primarily used in examples illustrating
how a future specification might leverage them to achieve the objectives of
DetNet.

# Reviewer comments

There's not much here. This almost feels like a problem statement for a
specification rather than a specification itself. I wonder about the value of
publishing this as an RFC rather than using it internally to the detnet WG as
the basis for developing an actual control and management plane specification.
