Sure. As said, i may not have correctly captured what Mcr was explaining,

> In normal BIER, the bits indicate the routers, don't they? So there's an IP packet inside, correct, like in my tunnel mode? But then I expect it is the same packet for all destinations. So how does htat work, is it a mcast packet or do all the destination have a same IP address?

"Proper BIER" (TM) (the stuff done by BIER-WG) has defined its own
encapsulation header (RFC8296) that sits on top of MPLS or ethernet and
that has its own next-proto field/registry, so it can be followed
by IP or anything else that BIER-WG feels deserves a code point in
that registry.
