======================================
Only short sighted ISP's hand out /56's to residential customers.I am curious as to why you say it is short sighted? what is the technical or otherwise any other reasoning for such statement ?256 is *not* a big number of subnets. By restricting the number of subnets residences get you restrict whatdevelopers will design for. Subnets don't need to be scares resource. ISP's that default to /56 are making them a scares resource.
======================================= So, this is more of a 'opinion' / 'feel' (with all due respect) comment, and not something which has a (presently) compelling technical reasoning behind it ?
