The DetNet MPLS data plane [RFC8964] specifies how sequencing The DetNet MPLS data plane [RFC8964] specifies how sequencing
information is encoded in the MPLS header. However, the DetNet IP information is encoded in the MPLS header. However, the DetNet IP
data plane described in [RFC8939] does not specify how sequencing data plane described in [RFC8939] does not specify how sequencing
information can be encoded in the IP packet. This document provides information can be encoded in the IP packet. This document provides
sequencing information to DetNet IP nodes, so it results in an sequencing information to DetNet IP nodes, so it results in an
improved version of the DetNet IP data plane. As suggested by improved version of the DetNet IP data plane. As suggested by
[RFC8938], the solution uses existing standardized headers and [RFC8938], the solution uses existing standardized headers and
encapsulations. The improvement is achieved by re-using the DetNet encapsulations. The improvement is achieved by reusing the DetNet

Two methods can be used for flow aggregation: Two methods can be used for flow aggregation:

* aggregating DetNet flows as a new DetNet flow. * aggregation of DetNet flows as a new DetNet flow.
In the first case, the different DetNet PseudoWires use the same UDP In the first method, the different DetNet pseudowires use the same
tunnel, so they are treated as a single (aggregated) flow at the UDP tunnel, so they are treated as a single (aggregated) flow at the
forwarding sub-layer. At the service sub-layer, each flow uses a forwarding sub-layer. At the service sub-layer, each flow uses a
