1.  Introduction

   This document defines IS-IS extensions to support multicast
   forwarding using the Bit Index Explicit Replication (BIER) with IPv6
   encapsulation (BIERv6).

   The BIER IPv6 encapsulation [I-D.xie-bier-ipv6-encapsulation] uses a
   "BIER specific" IPv6 unicast address, the "End.BIER" address,
   configured locally on a BIER Forwarding Router (BFR) to indicate a
   "BIER specific handling" in Forwarding Information Base (FIB).  This
   BIER specific IPv6 address, used as part of BIER IPv6 encapsulation,
   is advertised as a type of Encapsulation sub-sub-TLV within the BIER
   Info sub-TLV defined [RFC8401].

   The BIFT-id field for each BSL of each Sub-domain is another part of
   BIER IPv6 encapsulation, and is advertised as a type of Encapsulation
   sub-sub-TLV within the BIER Info sub-TLV defined [RFC8401].

Internet-Draft              BIERv6 Via IS-IS                October 2020


   The BIER Sub-TLV is advertised within the extended IP reachability
   TLV as specified by in [RFC8401].

   Note the extended IP reachability only includes the TLV 236 (IPv6 IP
   Reach TLV) [RFC5308] and TLV 237 (MT IPv6 IP Reach TLVs) [RFC5120] in
   this document.

   The following restrictions defined for BIER Sub-TLV in section 4.2 of
   [RFC8401] apply equally to this document:

   o  Prefix length MUST be 128 for an IPv6 prefix.

   o  When the Prefix Attributes Flags sub-TLV [RFC7794] is present, the
      N flag MUST be set and the R flag MUST NOT be set.

   o  BIER sub-TLVs and Function Sub-TLVs MUST be included when a prefix
      reachability advertisement is leaked between levels.

2.  Terminology

   Readers of this document are assumed to be familiar with the
   terminology and concepts of the documents listed as Normative
   References.

3.  Specification

3.1.  Encapsulation sub-sub-TLV of End.BIER address

   The Encapsulation sub-sub-TLV carries the information for the
   End.BIER address of a sub-domain for BIER IPv6 encapsulation.  It is
   advertised within the BIER Info sub-TLV defined in [RFC8401] which
   in-turn is carried within the TLVs 236 or 237.  This sub-sub-TLV MUST
   appear no more than one time within a single BIER Info sub-TLV.  If
   the sub-sub-TLV appears more than one time, the BIER Info sub-TLV
   MUST be ignored.

   Type: 1 octet value indicating "Encapsulation of End.BIER" this IPv6
   prefix bound to.  TBD1 to be assigned by IANA.

   Length: 1 octet length in octets.  Value 16 is set to this field.

   End.BIER address: 16 octets IPv6 address.

3.2.  Encapsulation sub-sub-TLV of BIFT-id for each BSL

   The Encapsulation sub-sub-TLV carries the information for the BIER
   IPv6 encapsulation of a specific BitString length.  It is advertised
   within the BIER Info sub-TLV defined in [RFC8401] which in-turn is
   carried within the TLVs 236 or 237.  This sub-sub-TLV MAY appear
   multiple times within a single BIER Info sub-TLV.  If the same
   BitString length is repeated in multiple sub-sub-TLVs inside the same
   BIER Info sub- TLV, the BIER Info sub-TLV MUST be ignored.

   When a BIER IPv6 encapsulation sub-sub-TLV of BIFT-id for any BSL
   appears in a BIER Info sub-TLV, one End.BIER Encapsulation sub-sub-
   TLV MUST appears in the BIER info sub-TLV, otherwise the BIER Info
   sub-TLV MUST be ignored.

   Type: 1 octet value indicating BIER IPv6 encapsulation.  TBD2 to be
   assigned by IANA.

   Length: 1 octet length in octets.  Value 4 is set to this field.

   Max SI: 1 octet value.  Maximum Set Identifier (Section 1 of
   [RFC8279]) used in the encapsulation for this BIER sub-domain for
   this BitString length.  Each SI maps to a single BIFT-id in the BIFT-
   id range.  The first BIFT-id is for SI=0, the second BIFT-id is for
   SI=1, etc.  If the BIFT-id associated with the Maximum Set Identifier
   exceeds the 20-bit range, the sub-sub-TLV MUST be ignored.

   BS Len: 4 bits value of Local BitString Length.  Encoded BitString
   length as per [RFC8296].

   BIFT-id: 20 bits value.  First BIFT-id of the range.  The BIFT-id(s)
   are as defined in [RFC8296], or refer to
   [I-D.ietf-bier-lsr-ethernet-extensions] for Non-MPLS encapsulation.

4.  Security Considerations

   The security considerations defined in [RFC8401] and
   [I-D.xie-bier-ipv6-encapsulation] apply equally to this document.

5.1.  Encapsulation sub-sub-TLV Type Code

   Allocation is expected from IANA for two sub-sub-TLV codepoints from
   the "sub-sub-TLVs for BIER Info sub-TLV" sub-registry.

   Type: TBD1 to be assigned by IANA.

   Name: BIER IPv6 encapsulation of End.BIER address.

   Reference: This document.

   Type: TBD2 to be assigned by IANA.

   Name: BIER IPv6 Encapsulation of BIFT-id for each BSL.
