From the provider perspective, what is the prefix-length that most are accepting to be injected into your tables?? 2 or so years ago, I read where someone stated that they were told by ATT that they weren't planning on accepting anything smaller than a /32. So what if I get my shiny new /48 from ARIN and am already multi-homed??? Does ATT not want my business (which they wouldn't get if the first place, but for argument sake, yes, I chose to pick on ATT, sorry if I offended anyone :) I already see /40's /48's ,etc in the v6 table, so some folks are allowing /48 and smaller, so what is the new /24 in v6?
I only ask due to the fact that ARIN's policy for end-users is /48 minimum (which is what i've been telling folks to apply for or applying for it on behalf of them).
Almost everyone of consequence accepts a /48. Verizon last year was very firm at /32, but I've heard they recently changed their mind. Verizon gave up on trying to get IPv6 to me before this and closed the account after a calendar year's worth of attempts. I replaced them with Global Crossing who got it right on the first try. These days a provider that only accepts a /32 or shorter is the exception, not the rule. ~Seth
