Dear Authors, et. al,
I understand the idea of aggregating MTU in the given BIER sub-domain but
I'm concerned that if there are interfaces with significantly different
MTUs, that the proposed approach may result in lower MTU being enforced on
paths capable of larger MTU. The BIER PMTUD draft
<https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-bier-path-mtu-discovery-03>does
provide per path information.

Regards,
Greg
