Handing out /56's like Pez is just wasting address space -- someone *is* paying for that space. Yes, it's waste; giving everyone 256 networks
You clearly have no understanding of route aggregation which just made it's entry into the soho. The router will set up it's own DHCP-PD prefix delegation for downstream routers. Without a /56 or larger it is very hard to do automatically. It is not "wasting" it is "required" for proper operation of a routing internet. You can't just NAT a downstream router and still have IPv6. People buy extra wifi routers at their favorite shop and *will* plug the cable into the "Internet" port. With IPv6 and DHCP-PD they will still get working IPv6 internet. Great! Cheers, Seth
