I like to put some servers behind that scheme.

It gives a quick note of what is that ip even though it’s ipv6 and usually non-human readable.
Not sure what kind of scheme is use by medium/big ISP.
Do you go by zip code of the area covered or some kind of logical to help people know what is behind that ipv6 network?
We really aren't clever with IPv6 address design and assignment. The most we do is assign:
- 1x /48 to Loopbacks for all routers. - /48's per PoP for infrastructure links. - /48's per city for /56 assignments to customers. - /48's per city for assignments to customers.
Why are you so stingy with customer assignments? Why not properly assign /48s to customers and /40s to cities? Owen
