Package bier

The XML API OSS interface uses the bier package to configure BIER. The Bit Index Explicit Replication (BIER) allows optimal forwarding of multicast packets without a need for a protocol to build multicast trees (simplified control plane) and without a need for intermediate routers to maintain any per multicast flow state. Multiple Templates can be configured under a single BIER instance on the base router and multiple Subdomains can be configured under each Template.
