Abstract:
Bit Index Explicit Replication (BIER) [I-D.ietf-bier-architecture] is
an architecture that provides optimal multicast forwarding through a
"BIER domain" without requiring intermediate routers to maintain any
multicast related per-flow state. BIER also does not require any
explicit tree-building protocol for its operation. When a multicast
data packet enters the BIER domain, the BFIR determines the BFERs to
which the packet needs to be sent. Then the BFIR encapsulates the
packet in a BIER header and forwards the packet according to the
BIFTs. Currently, there is a BIER-MPLS solution to transmit
multicast traffic using MPLS label indication. Alternatively, this
document tries to propose a solution named BIER Ethernet to support
BIER forwarding in Ethernet network.
