I noticed myself, as well as noted others mentioning this in the discord. The source address for any of the SBI NFs is selected without consistency. By adding this source_interface configuration key to any of the SBI client definitions, it is possible for the source address to be predictable. When using a system with multiple IP addresses, it is currently difficult to know which NF is sending the packet based on the source address. This will allow that consistency.
