Solutions looking for problems. I get a few subnets (though don't foresee it being likely). Someone here was mentioning dozens or hundreds of subnets for a residential customer. Um, no.
If you feel the need to segment private wire and private wireless, okay. Then there's guest... um, and M2M? yeah, that's about it for a single residence. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com Midwest Internet Exchange http://www.midwest-ix.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Harald Koch" <c...@pobox.com> To: "Mike Hammett" <na...@ics-il.net> Cc: "NANOG list" <nanog@nanog.org> Sent: Thursday, July 9, 2015 9:46:41 AM Subject: Re: Dual stack IPv6 for IPv4 depletion On 9 July 2015 at 09:11, Mike Hammett < na...@ics-il.net > wrote: I think you're confusing very common for a tech guy and very common for the common man. I have a dozen or two v4 subnets in my house. Then again, I also run my ISP out of my house, so I have a ton of stuff going on. I can't even think of a handful of other people that would have more than one. My son (who is not a tech guy but is a gamer) has four subnets in his (rented) house already: private LAN, guest network, home control network, and a separate LAN for the tenant downstairs who is sharing their broadband connection. And he's just getting started. The "common man" is becoming much more sophisticated in their networking requirements, and they need this stuff to just work. Please don't place artificially small limits just because you can't see a need. -- Harald
