And it should be quite possible for anybody to use one /64 out of their /48 for 'printers' and 'microwaves'. Not even talking about refridgerators full with IPv6 beer (seen that one already :)
This means that every SOHO will get a /64? Or every company with 100 employees (make that about 200 nodes)?
Done this way we will be defingin IPv7 real quick, as the unused addresses
will add up very fast.
Uhm, I think you need to go and look at the numbers...:-)
The current more or less standard policy is to give out /48s, even to SOHOs. Each host prefix is a /64.
I would like to give those appliances globally routable IP space simply because it would allow my printer to order new paper from the store when it's almost out. Or better... new beer in my fridge!
Yes, or to have the new version of SPAM sent directly to your printer rather
than you e-mail or fax.
Packet filtering is not the same as NAT.
