I think since MIP is a network layer solution for mobility, shouldn't
multiple points of attachment & flow distribution also reside at this
level?. 

What we propose in our draft is a simple extension to the data structures
held for binding to hold flow distribution information. No such "database"
is required as Ryuji mentioned.

I too would like to know the other ways that Ryuji talks about.
