So a customer with a single PC hooked up to their broad-band connection would be given 2^64 addresses? I realize that this is future proofing, but OMG! That’s the IPv4 Internet^2 for a single device!
Most people will have more than one device. And there is no NAT as you know it from IPv4 (and hopefully there never will be. I had to troubleshoot a NAT related problem today and it wasn't fun.[1]) And I want more than one network I want to have a firewall between my fridge and my file server.
Am I still seeing/reading/understanding this correctly?
RFC 3177 suggest a /48. Forget about IPv4 when assigning IPv6 Networks to customers. Think big an take a one size fits all(most) customers approach. Assign a /48 or /56 to your customers and they will never ask you about additional IPs again. This make Documentation relay easy. ;-) cheers Jens [1] Everybody who claims that NAT is easy should have his or her head examined. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Foelderichstr. 40 | 13595 Berlin, Germany | +49-151-18721264 | | http://www.quux.de | http://blog.quux.de | jabber: jenslink () guug de | -------------------------------------------------------------------------
