Most major wireline deployments provide /60, /56 or /48. Examples: free.fr, KDDI, ATT. Exceptions are RCS+RDS (working on shorter prefixes) and some North American cable operators, which AIUI are crippled by sucky CPEs that fail to do anything useful when they receive more than a /64. On Thu, Nov

Also, rule 5.5 of RFC 6724 is inadequate. Hosts that implement it should work better than those that don't because new flows created after the primary default router becomes unreachable should automatically go to the next available default router, but existing flows will still be broken in

My point is that it isn't sufficient to handle this problem at just the routers. At a minimum, the *hosts* need to be told which default router to use with each source prefix. Right now the only mechanism that comes close to doing that is ICMPv6 Redirect, which isn't suitable for

Chances are that part of the reason you had to go to a multi-homed connection was that your router configuration was suffering from bufferbloat, and so despite you having a decent connection to your ISP, you were experiencing congestion. This is, unfortunately, very typical of home routers
