Re: IP4 Space

Ok. Let's get back to some basics to be sure we are talking about the same things. 

 First, do you believe that a residential customer of an ISP will get an IPv6 /56 assigned for use in their home? Do 
you believe that residential customer will often choose to multihome using that prefix? Do you believe that on an 
Internet that has its primary layer 3 protocol is IPv6 that a residential customer will still desire to do NAT for 
reaching IPv6 destinations? 

I am looking forward to your response.
