Another idea would be to give each non-/48 customer the first /56 out of each /48.
Right, so you combine the downsides of both approaches.
It doesn't work when ARIN does it:
Well, ARIN aren't running the Internet route tables. If they were, I'd assume they'd force AS6453 to do the right thing and aggregate their address space.
11920 - cogeco who I presume (just guessing) is doing this either because they have not aggregated by mistake or have to shed load and load-balance). I don't think teleglobe (6453) is at fault here...
Yeah, you're right, I missed the line wrapped AS_PATH.
out of curiousity how is this sort of thing supposed to be done in v6? (traffic engineering given the '1 prefix per ISP' standard mantra)

Static assignments of /56 to customers make sense to me, and that's the assumption I've made when suggesting the addressing scheme I proposed. Once you go static with /56s, you may as well make it easy for both yourself and the customer to move to a /48 that encompasses the original /56 (or configure the whole /48 for them from the outset).
I think the assumption most folks make with DSL/cable is that end-users get dynamic assignments from a local (to the PE device) pool, similar to ipv4. I suppose you could do static assignments, but there's a management payment there that might not fit within the ISP's cost plan. I presume that something accepting PD would be smart enough to let the end-hosts/lans know when their top 56 bits changed... and v6 includes auto-renumbering for 'free' right? So all solved?
(yes some of that is joking... or at the very least pointing out a gotcha)
