Deterministic Networking (DetNet)

Deterministic Networking (DetNet): Bounded-Latency IP Services explores the foundations, architectures, and real-world applications of networks engineered to deliver guaranteed latency, reliability, and synchronization across IP and MPLS domains. From the underlying principles of deterministic communication to advanced mechanisms such as flow scheduling, resource reservation, redundancy, and integration with cloud-native and edge computing, this book provides a comprehensive examination of how deterministic networking enables mission-critical services in industries including healthcare, finance, media, transportation, and industrial automation. Combining technical depth with practical perspectives, it offers readers a clear understanding of the challenges, opportunities, and future directions of predictable networking in the digital age.
