Well of course not. Do you think they will be bothered by the fact that a second router (from another ISP) is not working properly ? Please note, I'm talking about managed CPE, not retail, that's another model.
I do understand what you mean, but it is not that simple. It is also very different in different countries. Competition is different, price is key and some of them were told 20 years ago that the IPv4 address space was never going to be an issue, still they are hit with v4-shortage, so handle from a "safe" perspective. And no, you don't have to convince me that there are plenty of v6 addresses, even when deploying /56 or something :-). They often make a comparison: deploying IPv4, you get a single public IPv4 address on the box, while doing nat and private IP's, typically some /24 in the LAN vs getting a /64 prefix for you own usage.... -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Brian E Carpenter Sent: donderdag 8 november 2012 12:41 To: Mikael Abrahamsson Cc: [email protected] Group; Andrew McGregor; Ted Lemon; Wuyts Carl; Ralph Droms Subject: Re: [homenet] regarding recursive DHCPv6-PD On 08/11/2012 09:48, Mikael Abrahamsson wrote: > On Thu, 8 Nov 2012, Wuyts Carl wrote: > >> Well, being a residential CPE vendor, I can confirm some of our >> customers deploy /64 only to the CPE.

Fine, but when such an end customer buys a second router and plugs it in, will she get an error message that says "Please find a new ISP"? This is not intended as a frivolous question.
