Indeed, I have no idea how a host would know.

It might be nice to be able to somehow configure the network to treat one link as preferred over another, e.g. if one connection is expensive. Of course, since the user isn’t likely to know to configure that, it needs to be automatic, and I don’t think an automatic mechanism has been specified.
