Abstract:
Various systems and methods for performing bit indexed explicit replication (BIER) using multiprotocol label switching (MPLS). For example, one method involves receiving a packet that includes a MPLS label. The packet also includes a multicast forwarding entry. The method also involves determining, based on the value of the MPLS label, whether to use the multicast forwarding entry to forward the packet. The method further includes forwarding the packet.

Claim (Index 20):
The network device of  claim 15 , wherein the method further comprises:\n determining a second set bit in the bit mask; selecting a second selected row in the bit forwarding table by using the top label and the second set bit to identify the second selected row, wherein\n the second selected row comprises a second routing label associated with a second neighbor node;
