    abstract =  {In-situ Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (IOAM) collects operational and telemetry information in the packet while the packet traverses a path between two points in the network. Bit Index Explicit Replication (BIER) is an architecture that provides optimal multicast forwarding through a "multicast domain", without requiring intermediate routers to maintain any per-flow state or to engage in an explicit tree-building protocol. The BIER header contains a bit- string in which each bit represents exactly one egress router to forward the packet to. This document outlines the requirements to carry IOAM data in BIER header and specifies how IOAM data is encapsulated in BIER header.},
