can post them this week. Thanks

------------
BIER Meeting IETF 99
Minute taker: Pierre Pfister

Note Well:

Agenda:

BIER PIM Stitching (draft-hfa-bier-pim-tunneling by Hooman Bidgoli):
<Slide: Multicast state example>

Greg Shepherd - Where is the edge of the BIER domain?
Bigdoli Hooman / Andrew Dolganov - P routers only.

<End of presentation>

draft-zhang-bier-babel-extensions-01 by Sandy Zhang:

Greg Shepherd (to Sandy Zhang): Can you tell us what was the babel WG
feedback was ?


Greg Shepherd (to Juliusz Chroboczek): Did you read the draft ?

Juliusz Chroboczek: I have read the draft.

Greg Shepherd: How does it work in networks with non BIER babel routers ?

Sandy Zhang: It is working, there is implementation.

Juliusz Chroboczek: babel WG is looking at this draft with interest. But
for now the babel WG is focusing on the core elements of babel. This
 document will therefore not be adopted by the babel WG before the babel
core specifications are published.


Greg Shepherd: BIER is pretty well cooked in this doc. But we would like
babel to have a better look. This document could live in the babel WG.


Toerless Eckert: Did homenet went to mbone to ask for input ?

Pierre Pfister: I went to mbone and pim WGs to present homenet and
multicast. They did not care.

Alia Atlas: Babel is the place for this document to be done. Because BIER
depends on advertising things. Babel experts will have to look at it.
 The homenet architecture document only talks about PIM, but BIER
applicability could be evaluated.

Tim Chown: Babel is the homenet routing protocol. There was some discussion
about homenet in the BIER WG at some point.

Alia: Please have inter-WG discussions on mailing lists. IETF process also
involves other WGs when documents are reviewed.


draft-zhangwu-bier-nvo3-analysis-00 by Sandy Zhang:

Tony Przygienda: Does multi-homing work ? If there are multiple join ? How
to not get replicates ?

Sandy Zhang: BMLD does that. Leaf knows about group membership.

Tony Przygienda: We are short in time. Continue the dicussion on the
mailing list.

Toerless Eckert: We should present to NVO3. They don't need to understand
BIER, but they would know the service that they would get using BIER.

Sandy Zhang: Want to clarify that the draft is under discussion with people
I know which are working on data-centers.

Alia Atlas: There is an NVO3mcast in the publication queue. It went to PIM
and mbone for review. Please review that document in BIER as well.



BIER-TE/BIER-TE-FRR by Toerless Eckert:

Greg Shepherd (chair-hat-on): When this first came out. There were concerns.

Toerless Eckert: They are addressed. But we didn't renew the call for
adoption.

Greg Shepherd: Is this work that we should do ?

Yes: Many hands up
No: No hands up

Alia Atlas: If this has hardware impact, do we need to hold off the
architecture document ? Should we delay the implementation finalization ?

Greg Shepherd: I think the BIER FIB doesn't change.

Toerless Eckert: It is up to the vendors to decide whether they want to do
it or not.

Greg Shepherd: If this changes the architecture, it should be added to the
architecture document.

Alia Atlas: It is concerning though.

Andrew Dolganow: Do not delay.

Greg Shepherd: I agree

Toerless Eckert: I don't want to hold either. Implementers should check
this !


draft-zzhang-bier-evpn-00 by Jeffrey Zhang:

Greg Shepherd: Who read the draft ? --> 6 to 8 hands up

Status Update from Chair:

Greg Shepherd: Operation considerations. There will be an operational doc
out of the group.

Greg Shepherd: Call for document shepherds for WGLC docs.

Alia Atlas: Sheparding doc requires reading the document. It is cool to
discover IETF process. It is helpful to show interest.

Ethertype for BIER:

Alia Atlas: We need encap draft. Tony said there is a draft about encap and
header format. Since MPLS is going to be deployed soon, and there
 is no strong request for Ethernet, we can wait for IEEE and MPLS code to
happen first.

Justification Draft: Greg and Andrew will begin the work.

Adjourn.
