Hi all,

How about any-cast prefix being used as BIER prefix ? Example,,

RTA ---(Prefix P1, SD=0, Bfrid=, ...)---
                                       |
                                       |--- RTC
                                       |
RTB ---(Prefix P1, SD=0, Bfrid=, ...)---

(Note: RTA,RTB could be a BFR or BFER.)

1) Procedures @RTC for constructing BIFT?
2) If the BIER parameters advertised by RTA and RTB are different, how RTC
should resolve the conflict ?
3) How an ABR should leak the prefix with BIER TLVs to other area in above
cases?

I think, it is better we bring out different cases and standardize the
procedure (say draft-bier-conflict-resolution) to be followed to ensure
deterministic network behavior. Kindly let me know what y'all think.

Thanks,
Senthil
