Abstract:

   Bit Index Explicit Replication (BIER) is a multicast forwarding
   architecture designed to simplify and optimize multicast delivery.

   This document specifies the mechanism and basic BIER OAM packet
   format that can be used to perform failure detection and isolation on
   the BIER data plane without any dependency on other layers, like the
   IP layer.
