First:
But likely if you are in that camp, just asking for address space, that you can use stably for a long time, from your network provider who provides you connectivity is a better way to go.
Um, sorry I figured by the fact that I was posting on Nanog the context was clear, but I've forgotten how Nanog is now a go-to source for home network too :( The context was for what Nanog was originally intended for: We are provider-independent and peering around the world.

Sorry, I wasn't looking for the breakdown of expected usage. I know those maps. What I was asking was whether you can PI-route a /56 or anything less than a /48 today. It's "nice" to have a few dozen of the entire Internet for each site, but totally unnecessary.
If you thus have 5 end-sites, you should have room for 5 /48s and thus a /47 is what you can justify.
Really? One bit can flip that many ways? ;-) I assume you mean /45, and apparently ARIN's recommended size is /44 anyway. -- Jo Rhett Net Consonance : net philanthropy to improve open source and internet projects.
