Hi, Min Hui,

I an also confused on the requirement 5.

As for the the flow directed to the multiple
interface node, why does the network side need
to decide which interface to forward the data?

The dst address of the packet should be used for routing.
The network just forwards the data according to the routing table.
I do not see the needs for interface selection to route the flow.

Also if you have the use case, i have the same concern
as macelo, which elememt will be in chcarge of
distributing the traffic?

Thank you.
Regards
Yuanchen
