BIER also does not require any explicit tree-building protocol for its operation. Currently, the data plane of BIER is apt to use BIER-MPLS encapsulation to transmit multicast traffic. However, this document tries to propose a solution named BIER-Lite about how to extend IS-IS protocol to support BIER forwarding in non-MPLS underlay network instead of MPLS underlay network.}, }
