The IESG has received a request from the Bit Indexed Explicit Replication WG (bier) to consider the following document: - 'Multicast VPN Using BIER' <draft-ietf-bier-mvpn-09.txt> as Experimental RFC The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2018-01-31. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract The Multicast Virtual Private Network (MVPN) specifications require the use of multicast tunnels ("P-tunnels") that traverse a Service Provider's backbone network. The P-tunnels are used for carrying multicast traffic across the backbone. A variety of P-tunnel types are supported. Bit Index Explicit Replication (BIER) is a new architecture that provides optimal multicast forwarding through a "multicast domain", without requiring intermediate routers to maintain any per-flow state or to engage in an explicit tree-building protocol. This document specifies the protocol and procedures that allow MVPN to use BIER as the method of carrying multicast traffic over an SP backbone network. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-bier-mvpn/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-bier-mvpn/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
