Greg –

This thread is outdated.
In V6 of the draft we removed the restriction to limit IS-IS BIER support to area boundaries – so Toerless’s comment (and my proposed text) are no longer relevant.

Specifically:

Section 4.1:

“At present, IS-IS support for a given BIER domain/sub-domain is
                   limited to a single area - or to the IS-IS L2 sub-domain.”

The above text was removed.

Section 4.2

o  BIER sub-TLVs MUST NOT be included when a prefix reachability
      advertisement is leaked between levels.

Was changed to

o  BIER sub-TLVs MUST be included when a prefix reachability
      advertisement is leaked between levels.

This aligns IS-IS and OSPF drafts in this regard.

    Les

Have these changes been reflected in the draft? We're in WGLC but this discussion needs to come to a conclusion so we can progress.

Thanks, Less, that would be lovely!

I didn't check the OSPF draft, if its similar state, explanatory text wold equally be appreciated.
