[I-D.ietf-bier-te-arch] introduces an architecture for BIER-TE: Tree Engineering for Bit Index Explicit Replication (BIER). This document defines a YANG data model for BIER TE. The content is in keeping with the TE architecture draft. In addition, this YANG data model contains BIER TE frr items of [I-D.eckert-bier-te-frr].¶
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all capitals, as shown here.¶
The BIER TE YANG model includes BIER TE adjancency configuration and forwarding items configuration. Some features can also be used to enhance BIER TE function, like ECMP and FRR.¶

¶
The BIER-TE forwarding item is indexed by the combination of sub-domain-id, BitStringLength and set identifier.¶
One interface can be used in different sub-domain, so the BIER TE adjacency information is managed by BIER TE function other than by interface itself.¶
Because the BIER-TE is controlled by controller now, the information about IGP is not defined. If in the future the IGP is used to carry the information about BIER-TE, the IGP extension will be added in this document.¶
If the adjacency id of one adjacency is set to zero, the value is invalid. The notification should be sent to controller and network manager.¶
TBD.¶
