Hello Ines

Many thanks for your review. 

I see this recurring point of adding references to the other detnet documents; I'm happy to follow this advice, noting though that these are forward pointers since the problem statement comes first. 

Please see below:

[PT>] what about:
"
      Forward note: The <xref target='I-D.ietf-detnet-architecture'>
      DetNet Architecture</xref> is the document produced by the DetNet WG to 
      describe that model.
"

[PT>] Can we add after the latter sentence:

"
In other words, a Deterministic Network is backwards compatible with - capable
of transporting - statistically multiplexed traffic while preserving the
properties of the accepted deterministic flows.
"

[PT>] I'm not too inclined because this sentence is about a lot more than DP 
encoding, ad because this is really fast forwarding a lot.

[PT>] You're right, that fit in both places.

[PT>] done

Many Thanks, Ines : )
