Actually, we also advocate for /48 for end-users, not just business. If you need to support homenet protocol (and it will be quite common in the next few years), it makes a lot of sense that at each residential the ISP provides a /48, so each downstream router has a /56.

Regarding point to point recommendation I feel /64 per link makes sense. One may argue on /56 Vs /64 for customer allocation due to allocation by RIR but for point to point why not /64. Even if one ends up in burning entire /48, it gives 65k p2p links. The Larger operator can use a /46 or /44 for such task (and likely they would anyway have a /29 RIR allocation). /127 makes it tricky to change network later. I know an ISP here in India who started deploying IPv6 with their NAS devices on different VLANs (for WAN of NAS) and later decided to actually share LAN since there were limited NAS boxes and they could trust their own NAS ended up in re-numbering entirely from /127 per link to /64 one link. If they used /64 in start itself, renumbering would never be needed. Also, curious about how people manage VRRP (and similar) in /127 allocations. Thanks again for sharing the document.
