Handing out /48’s to homes was never ever going to cause us to run out of IPv6 space. Even if the homes are are connected to multiple providers there isn’t a issue.
Hi Mark, No single assignment practice would. Sadly no IPv6 addresses reach your computer directly from IANA. Multiple layers of assignment practices are happen along the way, each with it's own cumulative consumption. Most of those layers were designed with the independent assumption that "we have so many IPv6 addresses, let's just not worry about how many bits are consumed at this step." With a cumulative effect on the consumption of IPv6 space. Regards, Bill Herrin -- William Herrin ................ herrin@dirtside.com bill@herrin.us Dirtside Systems .........
