Hi, It seems to me that the HTTPS/SVCB records describe where and how a service is available (could be several IPv4 and IPv6 addresses as well as several ports). It does nothing to select how a client might connect to the service other than by providing a hierarchy of importance for each. I've not completely read RFC3484 (just the abstract and introduction) but it seems that this might describe some selection parameters that a client might consider in addition to other factors when deciding which of the available service addresses to connect to.
