When I first started broadcasting, I was using a broadcasting software that was not very popular. The most useful part of this software, which cannot be compared to vmix in terms of features, was that I could choose which broadcast to send via which internet. For example, while we could send broadcast number 1 to Youtube in Vmix via Ethernet, we could send broadcast number 2 to Facebook via a mobile phone connected via USB. Although I am familiar with many features of Vmix, I have not seen an area where I could choose this until now. Especially considering that it is very difficult to send 5 different outputs and sends over the same internet infrastructure, I can say that it will be quite useful and convenient.  network selection.png (40kb) downloaded 3 time(s).

Yes I agrre this would simplify same tasks.
Up to now you can send over different networks if you define an explicite route for it in windows (vMix machine)
cmd route print
will show you the current routes and you can add a new route that seperates the traffic for certain providers.
The other alternative, which I highly recommend, is to use a bonding solution for all your ISPs and streams. A single network and resilience and accumulated traffic. You can start with software like speedify but I also recommend using hardware appliances for this.
All my livestreams use bonding at least of three ISPs and I never had an issue.

This would also be useful for NDI.
You could have one network dedicated to NDI for internal sources/routing, and one for broadcasting out and receiving vMixCallers, for example.

To be honest, I am not sure why that option is there in other software, as it won't work properly for internet streaming. The reason is, Windows only supports a single gateway (i.e internet connection) at a time. (The exception is as Mavik noted, specifically setting up a route for your streaming provider's IP address, which would override the default gateway. The point is in all of this still stands: network control and routing is the responsibility of Windows and networking hardware, not of the app itself) For NDI, you can already customise your local network through standard network techniques to route things as needed.
