RE: [Add/Remove Network to VM] Multiple NICs on same Guest Network
The reason to choose multiple ips is there is a limit (I think it is 7) on the hypervisor about number of nic can VM have. For a nic you can have more than 7 ip addresses. The multiple ips feature is supported in the basic zone also. I think multiple nics feature is more useful when user need a nic in different network.

Re: [Add/Remove Network to VM] Multiple NICs on same Guest Network
The functionality was duplicated from deploy allowing multiple NICs, and I wasn't involved in the discusion as to why that was decided. There could be other reasons why that was put in place, I don't know. At any rate it doesn't hurt anything in particular, and I'm not sure how many are using the capability in 4.0 and earlier, but they may have gotten used to it.

RE: [Add/Remove Network to VM] Multiple NICs on same Guest Network
We have a feature Multiple IPs on the same NIC https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/Multiple+IP+address+per+NIC Isn't the functionality covered by this feature. I do not see a strong use case for having both the features (Multi NIC in same network and Multi IP per NIC). Should we allow only one of them, as they both tend to serve the same purpose, or am I missing something?

Re: [Add/Remove Network to VM] Multiple NICs on same Guest Network
I believe it was allowed because one can also create multiple NICs on the same network while deploying a VM. There may be people doing that to get multiple IPS auto-assigned to a VM.
