I want to describe (in some draft) the use of a virtual multi-access
interface that is mapped to multiple p2p associations (eg: IPsec). 
Which i think is a pretty standard option in industry implementations, eg:
in hub routers for hub & spoke deployments.

Is there any good RFC reference that explains how this works, eg:
replicate ll-multicast to all p2p associations, learn peer addresses
from received packets or specific IPv6 signaling packets, use that
to send unicast into right p2p association, etc. pp.

I could not find a good reference RFC for this ;-(

Thanks!
