Abstract:
   This document proposes an architecture for BIER-TE: Traffic
   Engineering for Bit Index Explicit Replication (BIER).

   BIER-TE shares part of its architecture with BIER as described in
   [I-D.ietf-bier-architecture].  It also proposes to share the packet
   format with BIER.

   BIER-TE forwards and replicates packets like BIER based on a
   BitString in the packet header but it does not require an IGP.  It
   does support traffic engineering by explicit hop-by-hop forwarding
   and loose hop forwarding of packets.  It does support Fast ReRoute
   (FRR) for link and node protection and incremental deployment.
   Because BIER-TE like BIER operates without explicit in-network tree-
   building but also supports traffic engineering, it is more similar to
   SR than RSVP-TE.
