      <abstract>
	 <t>   This document proposes experimentation to evaluate benefits and
   feasibility of an IPv6 routing extension header based architecture,
   implementation and deployment of stateless IPv6 multicast
   specifically for IPv6 only networks using SRv6 for IP unicast.

   This experimentation intends to explore options to support easier
   proliferation of technologies developed by BIER-WG by providing an
   IPv6/SRv6 network optimized packet header and per-hop forwarding
   mechanisms than BIERin6.  It also discusses how this work related to
   exploring advanced in-packet tree encoding mechanisms for both IPv6/
   SRv6 networks as well as BIER networks as a related effort.
