As with IPv4, YMMV. There is a proposal to allow direct IPv6 end site assignments that will be considered at the upcoming ARIN meeting: http://www.arin.net/policy/proposals/2005_1.html Note that it has been revised since the previous ARIN meeting. The size for qualifying is still being debated and I hope that anyone interested in this topic will make their views known on the ARIN ppml list or at the meeting.
The current version calls for IPv6 address blocks for any end user that uses (or has serious plans to use) IPv6 on at least 100,000 "unique devices" (routers, computers, etc.) and also multi-homes. This is a compromise between doing nothing, and the original 2002-3 like proposal. I would also urge interested parties to comment on PPML. Regards Marshall Eubanks
