Side note: I recently tried to get /48 per customer with ARIN on repeated emails and they refused. We were already given an IPv6 block a while back. I told them I wanted to expand it so I could give out a /48 per customer and that we had more than 65535 customers, which is the block we got; 65535 /48s. I didn't even account for our needs.
Without arguing the reasons, we will have to hand out /56s, rather than /48s because of this. So, it's not all /48-unicorns, puppies and rainbows.
We have two types of customers - that that get assigned a /48, and those that get assigned a /56.

So why be stingy to the second class? Why not just assign everyone a /48? Owen
