What features are those?
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.
There are a _lot_ of IPv6 routing prefixes, namely 281,474,976,710,656 (assuming every allocation is a /48 as is the current plan (last I heard)). Right now, there are about 120K routing prefixes in the Internet. I think IPv7 is a ways off.
