Hi Csaba,

Thanks for letting us know that you are developing bier for
freerouter.nop.hu.
I am expecting a number of other relevant drafts to be progressing out of
the
BIER WG soon - so this would be a really excellent time to read through and
provide feedback.

As Acee's email indicated, we always assume Network Byte Order.  This
particular
draft is already to the RFC Editor for publication, but during Auth48 it
may be possible
to add a brief mention that it is in Network Byte Order.

Regards,
Alia
