why /48? /56 would give 256 subnets. ought to be enough for anybody
IMHO (unless your definition of 'residential customer' is quite
different from mine...)
My opinion is that anything between /56 and /48 is fine. As far as I know,
current RIPE policy gives the ISP the option to without motivation, ask
for enough IPv6 addresses to offer each customer a /48 and I'd like to
keep it that way.
But you're correct, it seems most deployments are going for /56 for no
more reason than that it "should work for everybody". Of course /48 works
as well as it's a superset of /56. I'm not going to give anyone who gives
everybody a /48 a hard time and I don't want RIPE to do it either.
