Title : Traffic Enginering for Bit Index Explicit Replication BIER-TE

Abstract:
This document proposes an architecture for BIER-TE: Traffic
Engineering for Bit Index Explicit Replication (BIER).
BIER-TE shares part of its architecture with BIER as described in
[I-D.wijnands-bier-architecture]. It also proposes to share the
packet format with BIER.
BIER-TE forwards and replicates packets like BIER based on a
BitString in the packet header but it does not require an IGP. It
does support traffic engineering by explicit hop-by-hop forwarding
and loose hop forwarding of packets. It does support Fast ReRoute
(FRR) for link and node protection and incremental deployment.
Because BIER-TE like BIER operates without explicit in-network tree-
building but also supports traffic engineering, it is more similar to
SR than RSVP-TE.
