And /48 was chosen as the site size so that we didn’t have to think about that either. It’s large enough to cover almost all sites with additional /48s to be provided if you run out of /64s. Nothing in the last 20+ years has lead me to believe that these decisions were wrong. In fact NOT fol

Sigh… Let’s stop with the IPv4-think. Wasting 2^64 addresses was intentional because the original plan was for a 64-bit total address and the additional 64 bits was added to make universal 64-bit subnets a no-brainer. Owen > On Dec 28, 2017, at 09:55 , Michael Crapse wrote: > > Yes, let's ta

Just an interjection but the problem with this "waste" issue often comes down to those who see 128 bits of address vs those who see 2^128 addresses. It's not like there were ever anything close to 4 billion (2^32) usable addresses with IPv4. We have entire /8s which are sparsely populated so even
