With the assumption that each Link SAP manages a single network interface, it was necessary to ODTONE to support multiple Link SAP. So, when a new request is received at the MIHF and whose destination is a Link SAP, the MIHF processes it and redirects the request to the proper Link SAP, based on the information collected by the local discovery mechanism and the information presented on the request message.

However, there are cases where the destination could be a set of Link SAPs. In those cases, the MIHF sends a message to all destinations Link SAPs and waits a time interval for all the responses of the Link SAPs. After that time, the MIHF processes all received responses from Link SAPs and sends the response to the requestor.

	Note
	The time that the MIHF waits for all responses can be configured in the MIHF (configuration file or command line).
