longer prefixes

In the current IP version 4 Internet, many organizations that are not
Internet Service Providers are still getting their Internet
connectivity through multiple providers by having address space that
are announced via multiple paths. This is commonly referred to as
multihoming. For the IP version 6 Internet, there have long been a
debate as to how to achieve the same effect. This document addresses
these issues by highlighting some of the current policies and how
these can be used to achive multihoming for IP version 6 connected
networks.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
