That is why I think a /48 only upon customer or equipment request, and a smaller number by default is the best overall way to go. "Upon Request" also includes devices that do dhcp prefix delegation as well. It would be helpful if the makers of these devices would not default to always

I slipped up on the calculation. I assumed 2000::/3 was 2000:: to 2fff:::::::. It actually extends to 3fff:::::::. Guess I slipped up on the hex math. My mind always thought the 6 bone addresses were in the next block, but of course now

I did not write this to open a debate on IPv6 exhaustion, but merely to point out that policies could be changed in the future to reduce address consumption within IPv6 if the community found it is needed. Looking at the IANA assignments of the first 1/16 of the address space, it is highly

This all seems silly to me. #IMHO, IPv4 policy should be geared only mostly assuaging operators to get to v6. Total exhaustion is a part of that. Talking about v6 exhaustion is probably better suited for the IETF. Either way, we’ll all be dead if/when it happens and it is not unreasonable to avoid

I understand that there might have been some poor choices made with IPv6 in regard to address allocation that might lead to a future exhaust. The main one is the 64 bit network and 64 bit host decision, considering that it was based on 48 bit ethernet OUI's. I think it should have been 80 bits

The right answer is a return to an enviroment where there is no address shortage. Of course that spells IPv6. Getting back to the the simple record keeping role is already there in IPv6 when there is no shortage of addresseses. The only issue is getting to a tipping point where v6 is used
