Hi authors,

I have a high-level question related to the motivation of the work in “draft-xie-mpls-rsvp-bier-extension”.
The BIER architecture RFC8279 states that no protocol is needed to setup the tree, no per flow state is maintained in the network.. My understanding is in your case, you are using RSVP to building and maintaining a session per P2MP tree.

“However, it does not require a protocol for explicitly building multicast
distribution trees, nor does it require intermediate nodes to maintain any per-flow state.”

Also, the BIER-TE architecture document draft-ietf-bier-te-arch insists that it is more SR-like in nature in that explicit need for tree building and less like RSVP-TE in need to build a P2MP tree on per demand basis:

“Because BIER-TE like BIER operates without explicit in-network tree-building but also
supports traffic engineering, it is more similar to Segment Routing (SR) than RSVP-TE.”

Do you think the approach you are proposing will violate the above assumptions?

Regards,
Tarek
