But BIER-TE supports the traffic engineering by explicit hop-by-hop forwarding and loose hop forwarding of packets. This document proposes a set of extensions to realize the BIER-TE forwarding including the assignment of BitPositions to adjacencies and the configuration of Bit Index Forwarding Table (BIFT).}, }
