1. Introduction
Bit Index Explicit Replication (BIER) [RFC8279] defines an
architecture where all intended multicast receivers are encoded as a
bitmask in the multicast packet header within different
encapsulations such as described in [RFC8296]. A router that
receives such a packet will forward the packet based on the bit
position in the packet header towards the receiver(s) following a
precomputed tree for each of the bits in the packet. Each receiver
is represented by a unique bit in the bitmask.
This document presents necessary extensions to the currently deployed
IS-IS for IP [RFC1195] to support distribution of information
necessary for operation of BIER domains and subdomains. This
document defines a new TLV to be advertised by every router
participating in BIER signaling.
This document defines support for MPLS encapsulation as specified in
[RFC8296]. Support for other encapsulation types and the use of
multiple encapsulation types are outside the scope of this document.
