Hi Chairs and WG,
We have updated https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-chen-pce-bier/ based on
the comments from IETF meeting. Any comments are welcome.
The current PCE-BIER related drafts are as follows：
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-chen-pce-bier/:
This document specifies extensions to the Path Computation Element Protocol
(PCEP) that allow a PCE to compute and initiate the path for the BIER-TE. This
draft mainly focuses on the path calculation of BIER-TE and The controller
distributes a BIER-TE path to the BFIR
via protocol extensions like the PCEP
[https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-chen-pce-bier/ ] or BGP
BIER-TE[https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-idr-bier-te-path/] .The two
functions are used for the communication between controller and BFIR.
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-chen-pce-pcep-extension-pce-controller-bier/:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-chen-pce-controller-bier-te/:
These two drafts focus on the central controller scenario,specify a new
mechanism where PCE allocates the BIER/BIER-TE information centrally and uses
PCEP to distribute them to all nodes (include BFR, BFIR and BFER), for example
the BFR-ID allocation, the download of BIFT, then PCC generate a "Bit Index
Forwarding Table"(BIFT). These functions are used for the situation which there
is no IGP running in the BIER domain.
Of course, we can also directly distribute BIFT through the YANG model[see BIER
YANG and BIER-TE YANG].
Since there are many southbound interface protocols(include PCE, BGP, BGP-LS,
YANG), we would like to write an informational draft to introduce the
relationship between these drafts and how to use.

Abstract:
Bit Index Explicit Replication (BIER)-TE shares architecture and
packet formats with BIER as described in [RFC8279]. BIER-TE forwards
and replicates packets based on a BitString in the packet header, but
every BitPosition of the BitString of a BIER-TE packet indicates one
or more adjacencies as described in [RFC9262]. BIER-TE Path can be
derived from a Path Computation Element (PCE).
This document specifies extensions to the Path Computation Element
Protocol (PCEP) that allow a PCE to compute and initiate the path for
the BIER-TE.
