It is described in {[}I-D.ietf-bier-te-arch{]}. BIER-TE is a variant of {[}RFC8279{]} in support of such explicit path engineering. This document described the traffic engineering control framework for use with the BIER-TE forwarding plane: How to enable the ability to calculate paths and integrate this forwarding plane into an overall TE solution.}, }
