Don't we still need to subnet in a reasonably small fashion in order to contain broadcasts, ill-behaved machines, and other regular discovery crap that exists on any given segment? And if we have to segment in such a fashion, the request and allocation of additional resources is a natural consequence of such containment.
Don't confuse the reasons for creating subnets with the rationale for determining their size. In IPv6 we really do NOT want to be overly concerned about how many hosts a subnet can contain. Antonio Querubin 808-545-5282 x3003 e-mail/xmpp: tony@lava.net
