Re: v6 subnet size for DSL & leased line customers

I think this goes back to my point about DHCP, today there is a business practice and set of business requirements that work for a host of reasons. Expecting that in v6 these requirements will evaporate is not wise.

changing the business model and freeing the customer from the "evil greedy bastard isps" (yes, that was the term used) was an often explicit goal of many of ipv6's core designers. in some ways, i sympathize with this. many aspects of our business models are forced into contortions by the address/routing model, bgp limitations, ... but, indeed, expecting radical change when there is not even a transition plan is, shall we be kind and say, overly idealistic. randy
