I wasn't aware that residential users had (intentionally) multiple layers of routing within the home.
I'm also not sure what address length has to do with routability, other than networks filtering prefix lengths. If that's an issue, that customer is covered by the ISP's larger allocation, or they get their own PI space if they're BGPing. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com Midwest Internet Exchange http://www.midwest-ix.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Karl Auer" <ka...@biplane.com.au> To: nanog@nanog.org Sent: Wednesday, July 8, 2015 8:36:41 PM Subject: Re: Dual stack IPv6 for IPv4 depletion On Wed, 2015-07-08 at 19:57 -0500, Mike Hammett wrote: > Isn't /56 the standard end-user allocation? No - it's just a common one. And a bad one. /48s for all opens up a whole different world of end-user reachability, routability and flexibility that a mere /56 does not.
