For one thing a /32 is nowhere near enough for anything bigger than a modest ISP today. Many will need /28, /24, or even larger. The biggest ones probably need /16 or even /12 in some cases. Owen On Jul 14, 2015, at 12:53, John R. Levine wrote: >> We're talking about end user assignments

I have no problems with ISPs giving out /48s to residential subscribers. Neither do I mind if they give out /56s. That still gives every residential customer 256 /64 subnets. I don't see this as something that needs to become a standard. Those end-users who want more can ask for more fro their

You don’t think holding nearly 7/8ths of the address space in reserve for a future addressing policy is adequate judiciuosness? The IPv4 /8s constituted 1/2 of the address space. The /16s another 1/4, and the /24s an additional 1/8th at the time. Overall, that was 7/8ths of the address space ass

How so? There are 8192 /16s in the current /3. ISPs with that many pops at 5,000,000 end-sites per POP, even assuming 32 end-sites per person can’t really be all that many… 25 POPS at 5,000,000 end-sites each is 125,000,000 end-sites per ISP. 7,000,000,000 * 32 = 224,000,000,000 / 125,000,000
