The IESG has received a request from the Bit Indexed Explicit Replication WG (bier) to consider the following document: - 'BIER Fast ReRoute' <draft-ietf-bier-frr-06.txt> as Informational RFC
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 [email protected] mailing lists by 2025-03-06. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to [email protected] instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document describes a mechanism for Fast Reroute (FRR) in Bit Index Explicit Replication (BIER) networks. The proposed solution enhances the resiliency of BIER by providing a method to quickly reroute traffic in the event of a link or node failure, thereby minimizing packet loss and service disruption. The document details the procedures for detecting failures and selecting backup paths within the BIER domain, ensuring that multicast traffic continues to reach its intended destinations without requiring per-flow state or additional signaling. This FRR mechanism is designed to integrate seamlessly with existing BIER operations, offering a robust solution for improving network reliability.
