Sri,

Thanks for the reference.
A few questions from the configuration of the MN in the experiment
mentioned in the paper:

1. Are multiple interfaces active at the same time (eth0 and eth1)?

2. How does the bridge interface handle the scenario when you have
multiple interfaces simultaneously active and operational? From a PMIP6
standpoint, does the MN (assuming attachment to different MAGs) obtain
different prefixes from the MAGs?

3. How does SLAAC work when the bridge IF is used? Given that you have
different EUI48s associated with Eth0 and Eth1, what does the br IF use
for address config?
