So in IPv6 terms, your ISP understands the internal structure of your /48 - for example you might have some /56s routed one way and some another in your ISPs network? > However, if the leased line goes down (or one of the routers > to it goes down, etc.), global traffic will fall-back to > being routed over the global Internet...

I think Microsoft's network admins would be very upset if my traffic to our Cambridge England lab (for example) were to end up on the public internet. They try hard to prevent this. >From my perspective, the Wind River network plan sounds fairly atypical of enterprise networks. Have you considered using multiple /48s (perhaps one for the insecure parts of your network and one for the secure parts, where the routing the secure portion of your network would be convex)?
