Claim 14:
15. A computer program product comprising computer-executable instructions stored on a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that, when executed by a processor of a first node in a first bit index explicit replication (BIER) domain, cause the first node to:
receive, from a second node in a second BIER domain, a packet carrying a first identifier of the second BIER domain;
determine, based on the first identifier and according to a locally configured BIER packet sending policy, a BIER packet sending policy corresponding to the first identifier, wherein the BIER packet sending policy comprises path information corresponding to the first identifier, and wherein the path information identifies a path from the first node to the second node;
encapsulate the path information into a BIER packet; and
send, based on the path information, the BIER packet to the second BIER domain.
