Like I said, this was my understanding.... I am glad that it is being pointed out to be in-correct.... I don't have a reason for why a /64 as much as I also don't have any reason Why NOT.... So, let me ask the question in a different manner... What is the wisdom / reasoning behind needing to give a /56 to a Residential customer (vs a /64). Regards.

Why would you only allocate a residential customer a single /64?
That's totally short sighted in my view.

We are going thru a similar process.. from all of my reading, best practice discussions etc..
Here is what i have understood so far:-
Residential Customers: /64
Small & Medium size Business Customers: /56
Large Business size or a multi-location Business Customer: /48
Don't skimp on allocating the subnets like we do on IPv4Better to be 'wasteful' than have to come back to re-number or re-allocate .

So what is everyone givingfor a default LAN allocation for IPv6 Customers. I guess the idea ofhanding a customer /56 (256 /64s) or a /48 (65,536 /64s) just makes mecringe at the waste. Especially when you know 90% of customers will neverhave more than 2 or 3 subnets. As I see it the customer can always ask formore IPv6 Space./64/60/56/48Small Customer?Medium Customer?Large Customer?ThanksErik________________________________CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This e-mail transmission, and any documents, files orprevious e-mail messages attached to it may contain confidential informationthat is legally privileged.
