A few comments:

1. I am not convinced with the problem statement specified in the I-D. The
WG flow-mobility I-D (draft-ietf-netext-pmipv6-flowmob) is intended to
provide a solution that is similar (albeit without UE interaction) to what
exists for MIP6. 

2. If the UE is assigned different HNPs to its interfaces as a result of
connecting via more than one interface, the current assumption is that
there is no switching of flows between those interfaces. The only case
where we enable flow mobility is when the UE has a single HNP assigned to
it but connected via multiple interfaces (possible via the use of
logical-interface at the UE).

3. The I-D does not explain how flow switching would work if the MN has
different HNPs assigned to its interfaces.The extensions to PMIP6
signaling with the new flags to support flow mobility can wait until you
have a clear explanation for the same.
