When ECMP is enabled for two directly connected BIER routers, multiple next-hops are provided to BIER. BIER uses the next-hop with the smallest IP address for the primary path; all other next-hops can be used as protection paths. BIER uses as a protection next-hop for FRR all ECMP next-hops other than the primary ECMP next-hop. BIER does not hash the BIER packets over multiple ECMP next-hops.
