In this session, we present Bit Index Explicit Replication (BIER), a new stateless multicast architecture that provides optimal multicast forwarding by imposing the receiver information in the packet header itself. This not only follows the unicast path but also eliminates the need for explicit multicast tree building protocol or to maintain per-flow state entries in the network domain. This session introduces the BIER architecture, covers various main use cases and describes the related ongoing standardization efforts.
