HI Xuxiaho,

As Greg mentioned, the basic intention is to have it in-band to data traffic and avoid any other layer dependency if and when BIER layer in itself can handle it. BIER header carries sufficient information that can be used for OAM request/response and so we leveraged it and avoid depending on other layer.

Thanks,
Nagendra

Hi Greg,

Thanks for your response.

Although BIER has the BFIR-id, it seems much simpler and consistent to keep the request and reply message within the same format.

If I understand RFC7110 correctly, it’s only applicable in the directional LSP case. However, is there any directional path concept in the BIER case?

Best regards,
Xiaohu

Hi Xiaohu,
thank you for your thoughtful questions.
Ensuring that active OAM is in-band with data, i.e. is fate-sharing, being monitored significantly simplifies defect localization.
For the case of MPLS encapsulation preserving IP header has no apparent benefit as BIER header carries BFIR ID.
As RFC 7110 demonstrated, there are benefits of controlling path used for Echo Reply. I think that in the future version we'll provide more details regarding use of different Reply modes.

Regards,
Greg

Hi co-authors of this draft,

I’m curious to know the rationale of the choice that “ BIER OAM is defined in a way that it stays within BIER layer by following directly the BIER header without mandating the need for IP header.” In other words, what’s the real benefit of eliminating the IP header? Anyway, you would need IP protocol stack on each BFR, especially for reply mode 2 (i.e., Reply via IPv4/IPv6 UDP packet). In addition, I’m also wondering the necessity of Reply mode 3 (i.e., Reply via BIER packet). In other words, why does “the Initiator intend to validate the return BIER path” since the forward and return BIER paths between two BFRs may be totally asymmetric?

Best regards,
Xiaohu
