JE> how do you want to select which table should be used?

Ingress interface.

Consider: 802.3ad, ECMP, FIB, multi RIBs (e.g., OSPF vs BGP weight), VRF

I started working on all of the above late in 2003 on 4.x; the project
was shelved due to lack of interest and [other parts of] $job taking
priority.  I haven't looked at 5.x or 6.x code, but 4.x certainly would
have benefited from an architectural overhaul.
