Hi all,

Per the discussion in Bangkok, we created this draft to help understand bierv6 and the various proposals. Please give it a read and offer suggestions on how it can be improved. Hopefully it will be of some use to the wg.

Thank you.

Abstract:
   The BIER WG has a charter item to work on mechanisms which use BIER
   natively in IPv6.  This document is intended to help the WG with this
   effort by describing the problem space of transporting packets, with
   Bit Index Explicit Replication (BIER) headers, in an IPv6
   environment.  There will be a need to send IPv6 payloads, to multiple
   IPv6 destinations, using BIER.  There have been several proposed
   solutions in this area.  But there hasn't been a document which
   describes the problem and why this may be necessary.  The goal of
   this document is to describe the BIER IPv6 problem space, basic use
   cases, why new solutions may be needed and briefly summarize some of
   the proposed solutions.

Please note that it may take a couple of minutes from the time of submission until the htmlized version and diff are available at tools.ietf.org.
