Has anyone successfully gotten a RIR to assign anything bigger than a /32? I seem to recall in recent history someone tried to obtain a /31 through ARIN and got smacked down. Even if you're assigning a /56 to every end user, that's still on the order of 16 million allocations. I can't imagine anyone but the truly behemoth access network operators being able to justify a larger allocation with a straight face.
