1. Introduction
[RFC7432] and [I-D.ietf-bess-evpn-overlay] specify the protocols and
procedures for Ethernet VPNs (EVPNs). For broadcast, unknown unicast
and multicast (BUM) traffic, provider/underlay tunnels (referred to
as P-tunnels) are used to carry the BUM traffic. Several kinds of
tunnel technologies can be used, as specified in [RFC7432].
Bit Index Explicit Replication (BIER) ([I-D.ietf-bier-architecture])
is an architecture that provides optimal multicast forwarding through
a "multicast domain", without requiring intermediate routers to
