Hi, just a few bits of clarification...

Well, the reason for HD ratio is that a fixed utilization rate was seen
as "too unflexible to accomodate aggregation loss on multiple hierarchies",
especially in large networks - where HD ratio requires FAR less than 75%,
so that would be a large change towards a much more conservative(!) rule.

The "confusion" about /48 and /56 has been brought up a few times, and
the NCC has made it clear that they consider "a single assigned /48" to
be the equivalent of "256 /56s" for the purpose of evaluating HD ratio.
Nothing really "complex" or "confusing" here - you count your /56s, you
look up the HD value that applies to your network size, and then you have
a clear "ratio reached / not reached" answer.
