Abstract:
Bit Index Explicit Replication (BIER) is a new multicast forwarding
paradigm which doesn't require an explicit tree-building protocol and
doesn't require intermediate routers to maintain any multicast state.
A BFR cannot send a BIER packet to a given nexthop router unless that
nexthop router has indicated that it can support the BIER forwarding
procedure. This document defines a mechanism to signal that
capability using OSPF. This mechanism is useful when the unicast
route distribution is also done via OSPF.
