Internet-Draft draft-ietf-bier-php-12.txt is now available. It is a work item
of the Bit Indexed Explicit Replication (BIER) WG of the IETF.

   Title:   BIER Penultimate Hop Popping
   Author:  Zhaohui Zhang
   Name:    draft-ietf-bier-php-12.txt
   Pages:   9
   Dates:   2024-09-25

Abstract:

   This document specifies a mechanism for Penultimate Hop Popping (PHP)
   in the Bit Index Explicit Replication (BIER) architecture.  PHP
   enables the removal of the BIER header by the penultimate router,
   thereby reducing the processing burden on the final router in the
   delivery path.  This extension to BIER enhances operational
   efficiency by optimizing packet forwarding in scenarios where the
   final hop's capabilities or requirements necessitate such handling.
   The document details the necessary extensions to the BIER
   encapsulation and forwarding processes to support PHP, providing
   guidance for implementation and deployment within BIER-enabled
   networks.
