Abstract

BIER architecture currently does not support anycast, in that each BIER Forwarding Router (BFR) has its own unique BFR-prefix and BFR- ID. BIER signaling protocols also check if there are duplicate BFR- IDs advertised. This document discusses and specifies anycast support with BIER. It updates RFC 8279, RFC 8401 and RFC 8444.
