Hi Huaimo,
it seems that you are suggesting using IP FRR and BIER FRR in the same
domain. Is my understanding correct? Multi-layer protection in a network
may work but, in my opinion, overcomplicated network management and
operation. Would you expect that BIER FRR is more responsive to a network
failure than IP FRR? What benefits could be in such a scenario? Which
parameters, in your opinion, need to be coordinated between IP and BIER
layers? I think that if the document includes the concurrent use of IP FRR
and BIER FRR it should provide more detail on how such a scenario could be
realized.

Regards,
Greg
