Required Information

#[REQUIRED INFORMATION]#
%
% Do you and the End User accept the IPv6 Address 
% Allocation and Assignment Policy? (Yes/No)

confirmation: yes

% Why does the End User site need more than a /48?

reason: Ruria Inc. consists of four divisions, 
        which are technically independent, 
        and therefore require separate /48 assignments.

You and the End User must read the IPv6 Address Allocation and Assignment Policy. Enter ‘yes' in the “confirmation:” field if you both agree to follow this policy.

In the “reason:” field, please explain why the End User needs a large IPv6 assignment.
