Those of us who want to put our own routers on the wire will hate you otherwise.Why? As long as it can be a transparent router, why would it need to be a bridge?Ask a Verizon FiOS customer who wants to run IPv4 VPNs. He didn't say IPv6 only, right? I have a couple of customers who can't get bridge mode on residence FiOS service, and therefore can't run their own routers to terminate IPsec.If they could get routed static IPv4 rather than bridge, why wouldn't they be able to terminate IPSec VPNs? Note I did say TRANSPARENT router. That would mean no NAT and routed static IPv4.
For residential use, for users currently requesting one public address, that's a waste of a /30 block (sans routing tricks requiring higher end customer equipment). Multiply that by the number of residential customers you have and that's bordering on mismanagement of your address space. If you're dealing with business customers, then your usage versus wasted ratio is much higher and less of a concern, but what's the point? Are you trying to cut down on a large broadcast domain? -- Dan White
