We are referring to use cases such as the one you mentions below.
Current PMIPv6 specification does not fully address how to support
multi-interfaces nodes, since a different mobility session is devoted
for each interface, this making some things (such as flow mobility) hard
to provide.

In addition a MIF node could help to meet the no-host-modifications
requirement as showed in the preliminary test we conducted.

Thanks, we plan to conduct more experiments in the future. We will
further compound the initial experiments with a complete solution
exploiting weak host model capabilities.
