On the Path Computation for E2E Deterministic Services in Future 6G Networks

Future 6G systems and networks will need to provide support to a wide set of highly demanding use cases. Among others, service provisioning with deterministic guarantees, such as latency and jitter must be supported in SDN-controlled networks. In an E2E scenario, the selection of the paths over the different involved technological domains must be done properly to assure the service guarantees. In this paper, the role of the Path Computation (PC) in an SDN-based control architecture for deterministic services is firstly discussed. E2E Paths selection strategies are then benchmarked.
