1. Introduction
This document defines IS-IS extensions to support multicast
forwarding using the Bit Index Explicit Replication (BIER) with IPv6
encapsulation (BIERv6).
The BIER IPv6 encapsulation [I-D.xie-bier-ipv6-encapsulation] uses a
"BIER specific" IPv6 unicast address, the "End.BIER" address,
configured locally on a BIER Forwarding Router (BFR) to indicate a
"BIER specific handling" in Forwarding Information Base (FIB). This
BIER specific IPv6 address, used as part of BIER IPv6 encapsulation,
is advertised as a type of Encapsulation sub-sub-TLV within the BIER
Info sub-TLV defined [RFC8401].
The BIFT-id field for each BSL of each Sub-domain is another part of
BIER IPv6 encapsulation, and is advertised as a type of Encapsulation
sub-sub-TLV within the BIER Info sub-TLV defined [RFC8401].
The BIER Sub-TLV is advertised within the extended IP reachability
TLV as specified by in [RFC8401].

Note the extended IP reachability only includes the TLV 236 (IPv6 IP
Reach TLV) [RFC5308] and TLV 237 (MT IPv6 IP Reach TLVs) [RFC5120] in
this document.
