Re: [Bier] New Version Notification for draft-xie-bier-mvpn-segmented-06.txt

Hi BIER WG,

This draft was updated greatly in the past days, and I feel it is clear now.
It is a little long, so a discussion on mic may be not enough if it is not read through.
Welcome very much for your feedback/inputs on this on the maillist.
Thank you very much.

My log about this draft:
---- the term 'BIER tunnel', 'P2MP tunnel' and 'BGP-MVPN FEC'.
---- tunnel sticking can be between any two of mLDP/RSVP-TE/IR/BIER.
---- e2e sticked tunnel can be bound to one or many 'BGP-MVPN FEC(s)' from some IngressPE and VRF, and Ingress PE can decide to use which sticked tunnel for which flow(s).
---- the per-tunnel sticking of upstream tunnel and downstream tunnels, and the per-flow IP lookup for downstream BIER encapsulation (BitString), are separated/decoupled.

Abstract:
   This document specifies an alternative of the control plane and data
   plane procedures that allow segmented MVPN using the more efficient
   LIR-pF explicit-tracking when BIER is used as the upstream or
   downstream or both segments.  It requires a segmentation point BFR
   doing an IP header lookup, which is common for the forwarding
   procedure on BFER, or the forwarding procedure on ABR with local VPN
   CEs connected.  This document updates [I-D.ietf-bier-mvpn].
