Not to worry, I thought
Giving each nanobot a pair of /64s would be absurd. Maybe they aren’t all on
the same link (there are no broadcast domains in IPv6), but likely a few /64s
would cover each person.

Nobody needs to worry. I promise to reserve the last /32 out of my /29
assignment. When the world has run out of addresses, I will start to sell
from my pool using the same allocation policy that was used for IPv4. I
would consider a /64 to be equal a /32 IPv4 address. This would make a /56
I'm saying I should be able to use whatever size LAN I want.
Go ahead. Just don't use anybody else's addresses to do it. :)

Seriously. If we run out of networks while handing out /48s, by migrating
everything to HTTPS we can claw back the 16 bit 'port' field in the IP header
and reassign it as part of the 140-bit IPv6.1 address space.

Why would anyone
As a small local ISP, our upstream isn't willing to give us more than a
/48, their statement "Here's a /48 that will give you unlimited addresses
that you'll never run out of". Therefore we give businesses /60s and
residentials /64. If only we could do as suggested here and give everyone a
/48,

And /48 was chosen as the site size so that we didn’t have to think about that
either. It’s large enough to cover almost all sites with additional /48s to be
provided if you run out of /64s.
Nothing in the last 20+ years has lead me to believe that these decisions were
wrong. In fact NOT
Sigh… Let’s stop with the IPv4-think.
Wasting 2^64 addresses was intentional because the original plan was for a

Current ARIN policy contemplated as much as a /12 per provider and set a cap

Profligacy based on the assumption of exhaustion impossibility needs to
be avoided. Agreed.

A very familiar pattern. Pretty soon, our children will be
going to intergalactic governance fora debating v6 exhaustion and dusting off
Jim Fleming’s ipv9

M plays into this too. By my calculations, CenturyLink controls at
least 17 million /48s. How many sites does CenturyLink provide
service to? I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it's not 17 million.

The RIR’s assignment to ISPs assume relatively dense assignment of /48 to
customers. ISPs still have to justify the allocation based on the number of
customers sites for shorter than a /32. RIR assignments to non ISPs are also
relatively dense. If you have multiple sites you don’t need

Hi Mark,
No single assignment practice would. Sadly
I think he's referring to all the Unicast IPv6 outside of 2000::/3 getting
designated as "reserved", and therefore no gear will ever successfully
route it... just like happened with the Class E space.
You'd think we would know better than to let that happen, but there's a lot
of things you'd
