I would be more edxplicit and more flexible here, by adding e.g.

Looking at SDN stuff and pilot projects or testbeds, or even trainings
or workshops, I can see the need to interconnect such projects with
the 'real' net and to use globally unique AS numbers.

I do understanf that "network architecture" can be interpreted as a
rather wide and flexible term, but we should try to provide as good
guidance as we can to support the evaluation of requests by the IPRAs.
