Reading this and writing as I read it through: "IPv6 is not the same as IPv4. In IPv6 you assign a number of “n” /64 prefixes to each end-customer site, so they are able to have as many subnets as they wish. " I think this immediately leads the reader wrong. This should be about sites getting a larger prefix, and THEN out of this, they use /64s. So while above is technically true, from a viewpoint of making the reader understand better the hierarchy, I propose above sentence to be: "IPv6 is not the same as IPv4. In IPv6 you assign a large prefix to each end-customer site, so they are able to have as many subnets (/64s) as they need." [Jordi] Fully agree, thanks! The /64 for cellular phones should not be in the executive summary. [Jordi] Not sure about this one, it is a short sentence and we want to make sure to capture all the they key things in the first page, as know that unfortunately, most people will not read the rest … 4. In IPv4, it's not only perception of scarcity, there *is* scarcity. 4. I think I did the calculation and if you have 8B /48s, you still have only consumed around 1/10000th of the IPv6 space. I would use this instead of "480 years". 2^33 is ~8B. 48-33 is 15. So /48 for 8B people uses a /15. Take that down to one of the /3s we have, and it's a /12. 2^12 is 4096. So One /48 per person on earth uses 1/4000th of the currently used /3. So even with inefficient addressing this is not a problem. [Jordi] We will think about this 4.1.2. Windows PCs CAN do DHCPv6-PD, if they have Internet connection sharing turned on. This worked already in Windows Vista, 10 years ago. However, I understand that this is not the point you're trying to make. [Jordi] We can say something anyway to make the text more accurate. 4.2.3. Can't we use the "STRONGLY DISCOURAGED" to use less than /56 ? [Jordi] I think we should do that. 5.x I have heard of online gamers being ddos:ed so that someone else gains competitive advantage. It might be good to mention this drawback of persistent prefixes. [Jordi] However, it seems to me that if this happens during a “gamming” session, it is the same for non-persistent prefixes, right? I don’t think you change your prefix while you’re playing, or I’m missing your point? Good document, I'll refer to it a lot because I keep having discussions with people in different forums about customer prefix size.
