IPv4 is also not good at supporting multiple address bonding. As such, 
there are issues when an enterprise connects to multiple private 
exchanges. These connections are also not static and pre-planned ahead 
of time. An enterprise cannot check with all exchanges they might 
connect to to make sure they have unique addressing if and when they do 
connect.
