2005-1 removes one of the current obstacles for the real-world deployment of
IPv6 by multi-national businesses. Global enterprise address management is
critical. Global businesses are also challenged with unique routing policy and
multi-homed sites which are the criteria for assignment of an AS Numbers (ARIN
Policy Section 5). Beyond multi-homing at multiple sites, businesses also
concurrently deal with dozens of service providers around the planet in the
deployment of IP-based enterprise WAN backbones.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
