Develop a plan, consider the prior art, consider the possibly that you might deploy 6rd, consider what your peers are doing, consider the projections for your business. Go to arin with a request that meets your current and anticipated needs and that is defensible. don't decide without thinking it through that you're assigning a customer a /64 a /60 a /56 or even /48. this should be defensible as part of a business plan, otherwise what's the point? > Figure out exactly what you are going to assign to customers later, > but don't tie your hands by asking for a block that is way too small to > begin with.
