Abstract Abstract
Bit Index Explicit Replication (BIER) is an architecture that Bit Index Explicit Replication (BIER) is an architecture that
provides optimal multicast forwarding through a "multicast domain", provides optimal multicast forwarding through a "multicast domain",
without requiring intermediate routers to maintain any per-flow state without requiring intermediate routers to maintain any per-flow state
or to engage in an explicit tree-building protocol. The Multicast or to engage in an explicit tree-building protocol. The Multicast
packet is encapsulated using a BIER Header and transported through an packet is encapsulated using a BIER Header and transported through an
MPLS or non-MPLS network. When MPLS is used as the transport, the MPLS or non-MPLS network. When MPLS is used as the transport, the
Bit Indexed Forwarding Table (BIFT) is identified by a MPLS Label. Bit Indexed Forwarding Table (BIFT) is identified by a MPLS Label.
