I don't believe the parameters do what you are thinking they do. "Connection" refers to "Connection Profiles" and not how data flows on the network. You can have multiple connection profiles for the same physical device. I think the best way to illustrate this is by using a WiFi Device. For example, lets say you have a device wlp4s0. For that device you can create multiple "Connection Profiles". The major difference between the profiles would most likely be the SSID. Both connections could have the autoconnect parameter set to "yes". However, you could then set autoconnect-priority to give priority of one SSID over the other (or others). This way if both SSID's are available you can be sure your preferred SSID will get connected. You could have a similar configuration for an ethernet connection. One connection profile may have a requirement that IPv6 be available and have priority over another profile were IPv6 isn't required. Potentially, in both profiles you have static IPv4 addresses which differ. This way a profile would be selected automatically depending on where you connected your laptop, for example. -- Conjecture is just a conclusion based on incomplete information. It isn't a fact.
