Deterministic stitching of deterministic segments across distinct deterministic domains

An apparatus comprising:

• a processor circuit;
• and
• a device interface circuit configured for receiving or more identified flows of data packets from first deterministic flows of a first deterministic segment in a first deterministic domain, the first deterministic segment established based on first deterministic attributes in the first deterministic domain;
• the device interface circuit further configured for receiving second deterministic attributes about second deterministic flows for a second deterministic segment in a second different deterministic domain, the second deterministic attributes different than the first deterministic attributes;
• the processor circuit configured for allocating, based on the first deterministic attributes and the second deterministic attributes, at least a portion of the second deterministic flows for deterministic stitching of the one or more identified flows of data packets from the first deterministic segment in the first deterministic domain into the second deterministic segment in the second deterministic domain according to a guaranteed deterministic constraint.

One or more non-transitory tangible media encoded with logic for execution by a machine and when executed by the machine operable for:

• receiving, by the machine implemented as a switching device, one or more identified flows of data packets from first deterministic flows of a first deterministic segment in a first deterministic domain, the first deterministic segment established based on first deterministic attributes in the first deterministic domain;
• receiving, by the switching device, second deterministic attributes about second deterministic flows for a second deterministic segment in a second different deterministic domain, the second deterministic attributes different than the first deterministic attributes;
• and
• allocating, by the switching device based on the first deterministic attributes and the second deterministic attributes, at least a portion of the second deterministic flows for deterministic stitching of the one or more identified flows of data packets from the first deterministic segment in the first deterministic domain into the second deterministic segment in the second deterministic domain according to a guaranteed deterministic constraint.
