Then tell RIR's to quit insisting that /56's have SWIP's. They can't very well be dynamic in nature via PD if they are being SWIP'd.
I never heard of this requirement before, but I am not in the ARIN region. There is no technical reason why you can't give the user the same /56 each time via PD, the same way some offer static IPs via DHCP.
Until then, /60 sounds fine. Allows higher capacity per /48 on a node and will give most customers more than they will ever use.
Try to change the policy instead. -- Mikael Abrahamsson email: swmike@swm.pp.se
