ah I see, bad wording from my side. Any _end-user_ should get minimum a /56 for their use, an assignment. How they use that assignment are another technical matter - that's the operational side. On the actual use of IPv6 addresses I guess https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-carpenter-6man-why64-01 is a better source for information. It mention cases where a /64 is the best choice, and where other sizes can, and can not be used. -- Roger Jorgensen | ROJO9-RIPE [email protected] | - IPv6 is The Key! http://www.jorgensen.no | [email protected]
