Even today, people are deploying multiple subnets in their homes. For example, Apple's Airport allows you to trivially set up a "guest" network that uses a different prefix (192.168.0.0/24) and different SSID than your "normal" network (10.0.1.0/24).
Clearly, you think you're in the right and that you're making a valid and salient point. I see the above as unreasonable rationale. The very definition of "trivial" I would contend here - I honestly don't know a single resi user who has even logged into their modem/router. They're shipped with the username/password already entered by many ISPs these days, so they don't even have to set it up, they just plug it an and "use the internet". There's no point in arguing this further. As you rightly say, there's plenty of IPv6 space, I don't dispute the /48 point. I'm saying that there is no need for a /63 let alone a /48. No, I'm not saying /63 is a sensible allocation policy. I've yet to be convinced of any need for more than one subnet in the vast majority of residential internet cases. "sensornets" or otherwise (a concept invented in the early 20th Century and still not present outside of science fiction and commerce). M
