I was talking specifically about a multihomed host in the above. Looking
at a large multihomed organization as simply a collection of individual
hosts that are all multihomed is unmanagable. So remove the multihoming
processing to the edges where you can control it. I think that could
work well.

From S's perspective, I can see that this scenario would make it easy to
use the right path (from N1, N2, ...) to reach D. However, wouldn't it require the edge to maintain state for each flow which crosses it?
