There seems to be a variance between "It's OK to just give out a /64" to "You better be thinking about giving out a /48". I can live in those boundaries and am most likely fine with either. I'm leaning toward a /56 for regular subscribers and a /48 only for business or large scale customers, and undecided on dial-up. How does this sound?
The starting point is to give everybody a /48 per site. If a business customer has 3 sites, then give them enough space for a /48 for each site. Could be 3 /48s or could be a /46.
How are other providers approaching dial-up? I would presume we are in the same boat as a lot of other folks - we have aging dial-up equipment that does not support IPv6 (3com Total Control). Our customer base has dropped quite a bit, and we have even kicked around the idea dropping that service and forcing customers to purchase broadband service or go elsewhere. I expect we won't invest any more into dial-up equipment, and when a dial-up customer happens to ask about IPv6 (if ever), we'll strongly encourage them to move to broadband, and as a last resort manually configure a /64 tunnel to them. What are other providers doing, or considering doing? -- Dan White BTC Broadband
