Sure, but the mystery to me is what goes transported with BIER.
Because that is the heart of the problem we are facing in this DT.
If BIER transports a same IP packet to multiple destinations, then they must all accept the same packet.
Moreover, if the destination is not the router indicated by the bit but a neighbor or a set of neighbors to that router, then the inner packet must indicate that.
All in all, that tells me that the transported packet is IP multicast.

What do I miss?

Take care,

Pascal
