The ASN you need to use is the ASN of the place in the backbone providing
you with 6bone service so we can simulate at least reasonable route
aggregation.

So first you should pick a point for 6bone tunnelling as close to your v4
connectivity as "reasonably" possible.

At the moment, UUNET in the US doesn't have a 6bone setup yet (tho Mike
O'Dell says they may soon be able to become a 6bone backbone site).

Thus I would suggest BAY/US (in Billerica, Msss.) until UUNET is up:

	contact:        Wenken Ling <wling@baynetworks.com>
	contact:        Dimitry Haskin <dhaskin@baynetworks.com>

Once you get them to agree to home you, then you would use their ASN.


Thanks,
