Abstract:
Bit Index Explicit Replication (BIER) is a new multicast forwarding
architecture which doesn't require an explicit tree-building protocol
and doesn't require intermediate routers to maintain any multicast
state. BIER is applicable in a multi-tenant data center network
envioronment for efficient delivery of Broadcast, Unknown-unicast and
Multicast (BUM) traffic while eliminating the need for maitaining a
huge amount of multicast state in an underlay. This document
describes BGP extensions for advertising the BIER-specific
information. These extesnions are applicable in those multi-tenant
data centers where BGP instead of IGP is deployed as an underlay for
network reachability advertisement. These extensions may also be
applicable in other scenarios.
