My FEAR is that people ("customers") are going to start assuming that v6 means their own static allocation (quite a number are assuming this). This means that I have a problem with routing table size etc if I have to implement that.
In my opinion, if they want static, they get business grade services, and get a /48. Or maybe a /56 over DSL perhaps.
And they pay more for it.Otherwise they get PD like everybody else. The ability is there *now* for you to manage this expectation and say to customers that they are dynamic. Exploit it.
I'm still not convinced though that, given DHCPv6 is going to be a reality for DNS assignment etc, that stateless autoconfig is needed and thus /64 doesn't have to be the smallest we assign.
Dynamic PD requires SLAAC, unless your customers have say 30s DHCPv6 lease times on their DHCPv6 servers.
DSL reconnects, gets new IPv6 prefix, sends RA messages internally, hosts renumber and mark the existing prefix as deprecated until it expires.
The alternative is waiting for hosts to do a DHCPv6 query to get a new address. That is sub-optimal.
