Creating an ipv6-site object

[Matteo Tescione]

Maybe you're right, the point is only whatever you want to do with your
ipv6-site, if you plan to use bgp peering with many site for a better
connection into 6bone, you would like to use a private asn and not an As
from your provider's upstream or something else, i think that your provider
doesn't agree so much to let a leaf site use their ASn, in fact if you have
only a static routing with it's site you don't have to use as, simple point
the ::/0 to provider's tunnel, but if you plan to grow your connection in
the backbone i suggest you to use an asn from private range....
Best regards,
Matteo
