In some scenarios, the resilience should be provided to guarantee the multicast data is 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.}, }
