(57) A network device may receive, from a first neighbor network device, information indicating that the network device is to remove a bit indexed explicit replication (BIER) header from a multicast packet prior to transmitting the multicast packet to the first neighbor network device. The network device may receive the multicast packet from a second neighbor network device, where the multicast packet includes the BIER header and is to
