Abstract

Bit Index Explicit Replication (BIER) is an architecture that specifies a solution for the forwarding of multicast data packets. In some scenarios, the resilience should be provided to guarantee the multicast data be protected by a given backup resource and forwarded successfully to the receivers in BIER-specific network. This document discusses the resilience use cases, requirements and proposes solutions for BIER, including the protection mechanisms and detection methods.
