Abstract: This demonstration showcases how integrating the IETF Deterministic Networking (DetNet) Packet Replication, Elimination, and Ordering Functions (PREOF) into the 6G architecture improves resilience and latency in an industrial scenario. Our setup connects two synchronized robotic arms via two disjoint and heterogeneous 6G networks, one employing a hardware-based and the other a software-based User Plane Function (UPF). Packets are replicated across both paths and eliminated upon reception, ensuring robust communication even in the presence of link or component failures. Additionally, latency is minimized as the receiver forwards the first arriving packet.
