5. IANA Considerations Selection of a time interval to switch the marking of a batch of
packets should be based on the service requirements. In the course
This document requests IANA to register format of the OAM field of of the regular operation, reports, including performance metrics like
BIER Header as the following: packet loss ratio, packet delay, and inter-packet delay variation,
are logged every 15 minutes. Thus, it is reasonable to maintain the
duration of the measurement interval at 5 minutes with 100
measurements per each interval. To support these measurements,
marking of the packet batch is switched every 3 seconds. In case
when performance metrics are required in near-real-time, the duration
interval of a single batch of identically marked packets will be in
the range of tens of milliseconds.

6. Security Considerations 6. Security Considerations
Regarding using the marking method, [RFC8321] stressed two types of Regarding using the marking method, [RFC8321] stressed two types of
security concerns. First, the potential harm caused by the security concerns. First, the potential harm caused by the
measurements, is a lesser threat as [RFC8296] defines OAM field used measurements, is a lesser threat as [RFC8296] defines OAM field used
by the marking method so that the value of "two bits have no effect by the marking method so that the value of "two bits have no effect
on the path taken by a BIER packet and have no effect on the quality on the path taken by a BIER packet and have no effect on the quality
of service applied to a BIER packet." Second security concern, of service applied to a BIER packet." Second security concern,
potential harm to the measurements can be mitigated by using policy, potential harm to the measurements can be mitigated by using policy,
