Eric,

> It seems that there are a few details to pin down regarding the provisioning model used for assigning BIFT-ids in non-MPLS networks, and about the need (or lack of need) for further BIER-specific IGP extensions to signal information about the BIFT-ids.

Agreed.

> Isn't it premature to be recommending algorithmic encodings before we understand the bigger picture?

I think its orthogonal.

> I do like the idea though of specifying more than one way of structuring the BIFT-id, that makes it slightly less likely that someone will burn any particular structure into their ASICs.

Ok, cool.

Thx,

Ice.
