IGP Extensions for BIER-TE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18448757 titled 'IGP Extensions for BIER-TE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method used by a network node in a Bit Index Explicit Replication Traffic Engineering (BIER-TE) domain.

  • The method involves encoding a specific bit position that is configured on a link into a bit position field of a BIER-TE sub-type length value (sub-TLV).
  • The encoded BIER-TE sub-TLV is then distributed within the BIER-TE domain.
  • The BIER-TE sub-TLV is designed to be compatible with OSPFv, OSPFv, and IS-IS protocols, which are commonly used in networking.
  • This method allows for efficient traffic engineering within the BIER-TE domain by utilizing the encoded bit position information.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method implemented by a network node in a Bit Index Explicit Replication Traffic Engineering (BIER-TE) domain. The method includes encoding a bit position configured on a link in a bit position field of a BIER-TE sub-type length value (sub-TLV), and distributing the BIER-TE sub-TLV in the BIER-TE domain. The BIER-TE sub-TLV is compatible with OSPFv, OSPFv, and IS-IS protocols.
