Abstract

Bit Index Explicit Replication IPv6 encapsulation (BIERv6) introduces an approach to use IPv6 extension header to carry BIER header with IPv6 unicast address as destination address. It provides the ability to replicate a packet from one router to another router in a different domain as well as in the same domain. This document introduces the techniques for multicast deployment across multiple domains using BIERv6, and demonstrate how BIERv6 is beneficial for such deployment.
