Re: [Bier] I-D Action: draft-ietf-bier-mvpn-08.txt

[Eric C Rosen <[e-mail]>]

This version does have a significant change.  After much discussion 
among the co-authors, it was decided to add the BFR-id to the PMSI 
Tunnel Attribute as part of the Tunnel Identifier field.  This 
simplifies the task of creating the appropriate BitString.  Please 
review and raise any objections.
