Hi all,

I am also a newcomer of IETF BIER----come here no more than one month:-)

We just submitted a new draft draft-xie-bier-mvpn-mpls-p2mp-00, which defined a new way of using BIER, on a P2MP or one-2-many basis.
On such basis, there is a customized simple forwarding procedure, to fill the data-plane gap of current HW.
Also there is some cookies, after we lose some, such as ECMP on a many-2-many basis.

With a hindsight through this draft, one can see the clear and open architecture of BIER, 
which clearly define Overlay/BIER/Underlay layers, 
friendly allow any underlay to build BIER, 
and extensively support all kinds of services to run on.

Thanks to all the contributes to build current BIER-architecture.

Comments and suggestions are welcome. 

Best regards,
XieJingrong

Abstract:
   The Multicast Virtual Private Network (MVPN) specifications defines
   P-tunnels for carrying multicast traffic across the backbone.  A
   variety of P-tunnel types are supported.  Bit Index Explicit
   Replication (BIER) is a new architecture that provides optimal
   multicast forwarding through a "multicast domain", without requiring
   intermediate routers to maintain any per-flow state.  The purpose of
   the current document is to specify one way of carrying multicast
   traffic over an SP MPLS backbone network using compatible method and
   encapsulation of BIER.  It uses a pre-build P2MP as the BIER
   topology, and uses mLDP/RSVP-TE protocol extension to build BIER-
   related underlay routing and forwarding information in-band when
   building the P2MP topology.

Please note that it may take a couple of minutes from the time of submission until the htmlized version and diff are available at tools.ietf.org.
