The IESG has received a request from the Bit Indexed Explicit Replication WG (bier) to consider the following document: - 'BIER Penultimate Hop Popping' <draft-ietf-bier-php-12.txt> as Proposed Standard
The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the last-c...@ietf.org mailing lists by 2024-10-10. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to i...@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document specifies a mechanism for Penultimate Hop Popping (PHP) in the Bit Index Explicit Replication (BIER) architecture. PHP enables the removal of the BIER header by the penultimate router, thereby reducing the processing burden on the final router in the delivery path. This extension to BIER enhances operational efficiency by optimizing packet forwarding in scenarios where the final hop's capabilities or requirements necessitate such handling. The document details the necessary extensions to the BIER encapsulation and forwarding processes to support PHP, providing guidance for implementation and deployment within BIER-enabled networks. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-bier-php/ The following IPR Declarations may be related to this I-D: https://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/3234/ The document contains these normative downward references.
