Hi all,
What IPv6 prefix lengths are people accepting in BGP from peers/customers? My employer just got a /48 allocation from ARIN, and we're trying to figure out how to support multiple end sites out of this (probably around 10). I was thinking about assigning a /56 per site, but looking at the BGP table stats on potaroo.net [1], it looks like this is not too common (only .29% of prefixes). Thoughts?
Is it possible you should be using PA space from your ISP? An ISP would have no issue providing a /48 per site. Not too many details were given about your requirements or circumstances ... PA may fit.
Thanks, --Richard
