Jacni>: Ok, I got you point,
Another question is to make sure that continuous IPv6 pools (with EA) are
assigned on multiple Access Gateways (BNG) within the same 4rd domain.

Plus, the reality is even more complicated,
For example, there are group/HQ and branches. The shorter prefixes are
probably held by the group level, and several/many 4rd domains (according to
the sizes of cities under given branch) will be maintained by the branches
who can only get fragmented spaces, since a large amount of these spaces
come from leftover prefixes returned.


Cheers,
Jacni
