1. Introduction
Bit Index Explicit Replication(BIER)[RFC8279] provides optimal
forwarding of multicast data packets through a multicast domain. It
does so without requiring any explicit tree-building protocol and
without requiring intermediate nodes to maintain any per-flow state.
[I-D.ietf-bfd-multipoint] defines a method of using Bidirectional
Detection(BFD) to monitor and detect unicast failures between the
sender (head) and one or more receivers (tails) in multipoint or
multicast networks.
This document describes the procedures for using such mode of BFD
protocol to verify multipoint or multicast connectivity between a
multipoint sender (the "head", Bit-Forwarding Ingress Routers(BFIRs))
and a set of one or more multipoint receivers (the"tails", Bit-
Forwarding Egress Routers(BFERs)). The BIER BFD only supports the
unidirectional multicast. This document defines the use of BFD, as
defined in [I-D.ietf-bfd-multipoint], for BIER domain. Use of BFD
for multipoint networks active tail
[I-D.ietf-bfd-multipoint-active-tail] is for further study.
