Abstract
This document describes a "Bit Index Explicit Replication Traffic Engineering" (BIER-TE) header, two levels of Bit Index Forwarding Tables (BIFTs) and a forwarding procedure for efficiently processing BIER-TE packets with the header. For a multicast packet with an explicit point-to-multipoint (P2MP) path, which has multiple BitStrings, the packet with the header containing the BitStrings is replicated and forwarded statelessly along the path.
