There are basically two possible situations: network interfaces attached to different networks and network interfaces attached to the same network.
If the network interfaces are attached to different networks, the routing table controls what is sent using which interface. The contents of the routing table may or may not be further controlled by routing protocols (RIP, OSPF, EGP, ...). This is like it is in every IP-host.
If there are several interfaces pointing into one network, per default Solaris employs all the interfaces using a round-robin algorithm, if i remember correctly.
It is also possible to configure several interfaces into the same network to form aggregated links: etherchannels, configured for either additional bandwidth or high-availability (or both), etc..
I hope this helps.

aoe-discover
aoe-discover(8) System Manager's Manual aoe-discover(8)
NAME
aoe-discover - tell aoe driver to discover AoE devices
SYNOPSIS
aoe-discover
DESCRIPTION
The aoe-discover command tells the aoe driver to discover ATA over Ethernet (AoE) devices on the network. All network interfaces will be
probed with a AoE config query broadcast.
If the aoe-interfaces command has limited the allowable network interfaces, only devices discovered via allowable interfaces will become
available. The default is to make available all AoE devices found on all accessible ethernet networks.
It's good to run the aoe-discover command after running aoe-interfaces.
EXAMPLE
In this example, the root user on a host named nai loads the aoe module with only eth0 allowable for AoE traffic. After remembering that
shelf 7 is on eth3, this sysadmin uses aoe-interfaces to add eth3 to the list of allowable network interfaces and then calls aoe-discover
to ask the aoe driver to look for new AoE devices.
nai:~# modprobe aoe aoe_iflist="eth0"
nai:~# aoe-stat

nai:~# aoe-interfaces eth0 eth3
nai:~# aoe-discover
