Abstract
This document describes a mechanism for fast protection against the failure of an egress node of a "Bit Index Explicit Replication" (BIER) domain. It does not have any per-flow state in the core of the domain. For a multicast packet to an egress node of the domain, when the egress node fails, its upstream hop as a PLR sends the packet to the egress' backup node once the PLR detects the failure.
