    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method comprises: determining access point devices providing network coverage for a mobile network device within a prescribed coverage area of a deterministic network; establishing a deterministic reception tree comprising a root and switching devices associated with the access point devices, the deterministic reception tree enabling any one or more of the switching devices to forward toward the root a data packet, transmitted by the mobile network device at a prescribed transmission time, for deterministic reception by the root at a prescribed reception time regardless of any distance of any of the access point devices from the root; and causing the switching devices to implement the deterministic reception tree enabling the root to deterministically receive the data packet, received by any one or more of the access point devices, at the prescribed reception time.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method comprises identifying, by a path computation element, essential parent devices from a nonstoring destination oriented directed acyclic graph (DODAG) topology as dominating set members belonging to a dominating set; receiving, by the path computation element, an advertisement message specifying a first dominating set member having reachability to a second dominating set member, the reachability distinct from the nonstoring DODAG topology; and generating, by the path computation element based on the advertisement message, an optimized path for reaching a destination network device in the nonstoring DODAG topology via a selected sequence of dominating set members, the optimized path providing cut-through optimization across the nonstoring DODAG topology.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method comprises generating a switched link layer topology from a source device to a destination device, the switched link layer topology comprising a first sequence of switching devices, a second sequence of switching devices, and one or more bridging links between the first and second sequences of switching devices; generating first and second chains of resilient link layer segments for respective first and second multi-hop link layer connections based on generating a sequence of link layer loops overlying the switched link layer topology, and setting for each of the first and second multi-hop link layer connections a corresponding set of connection blocks in each link layer loop; and causing replication of a data packet across the first and second multi-hop link layer connections, enabling a failure in the switched link layer topology to be bypassed based on removing at least one of the connection blocks.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method comprises: a first network device in a deterministic network identifying at least one of first and second deterministic transmit opportunities for transmission of a data packet toward a destination device along a deterministic path of the deterministic network, the first deterministic transmit opportunity reserved for the first network device deterministically receiving the data packet from a second network device and the second deterministic transmit opportunity reserved for deterministic transmission by the first network device of the data packet toward the destination device along the deterministic path; the first network device detecting an absence of receiving the data packet from the second network device according to the first deterministic transmit opportunity; and the first network device selectively generating and deterministically transmitting according to the second deterministic transmit opportunity, in response to the absence of receiving the data packet, a management packet along the deterministic path.
