No, I am also interested in "multiple network connections per host", but my main interesting topic is *simultaneous* if multiple networks (or multiple interfaces) are available. Sorry for this confusion.

I think it's interesting that you appear to consider "multiple addresses per host" a narrower problem than "multiple network connections per host", whereas I consider the latter to be a subset of the former. I suppose that makes a good illustration of why I really want the WG to explore this issue from multiple points-of-view.
