The whole point of point-to-multipoint is to connect to more than one
remote. If you run point to multipoint on a subinterface, you can map
more than one dlci/destination pair.
If you had 5 remotes and 5 interfaces, then you would no doubt have 5
networks, and would probably want to run point-to-point. Unless you had
more than one remote on a network, then you would run
point-to-multipoint........all I am saying is the only reason you would
run point to multipoint in the first place is if you had more than one
destination off a subinterface.
