Hi Yuhan

I am a bit familiar with this change as we tried it in out POC [1] for IPv6
dual-stack. It achieves a similar function, as best as I understand, by
allowing multiple external bridges (and, therefore, external interfaces).
The feature I am providing here achieves approximately the same thing
(explicitly, a dual-stack arrangement) on the *same* interface, thereby
requiring only a *single* external bridge (and *single* external interface).

I think it just gives more flexibility. We can surely discuss.

Thanks for your comments!! Good discussion.
Randy
