Hi Jean-Michel,
The semantic of this utility is to probe exactly one interface at a time. If
multiple interfaces satisfy query’s match conditions, Probe can’t provide a
response.
I agree that Probe could set the A bit if all of the interfaces are active. But
what should it do if one interface is active and the other is not?

Error code 3 (Multiple Interfaces Satisfy Query) means that they query is
ambiguous. Or, on other words, that two or more interfaces satisfy the match
conditions specified by the query. So, we can't set the A, F, S or E bits
because we don't know which interface the user is asking about.
<JMC>
But, even if this is ambiguous, IMHO, all the interfaces are active => A-bit
should be set
And Error Code 3 returned to probing interface raises this is ambiguous.
Now, I am OK that F, S and E should be cleared to avoid any confusion between
the different interfaces.
Did I miss something?
