Re: Assigning IPv6 /48's to CPE's?

No, it gives them 16 bits for subnetting. Everybody gets 64 bits for addressing because everybody (except oddballs and enevelope pushers) uses a /64 subnet size. Since 64 bits are more than anyone could ever possibly need for addressing and 16 bits is more than an end site could ever possibly need for subnetting, the /48 is an ideal allocation size.

As should be clear from the previous discussion, there are plenty of us who disagree here, and lean towards /56 for end users (typically residential customers) while business users would get a /48 or more based on need. Steinar Haug, Nethelp consulting, sthaug@nethelp.no
