(Just how many light bulbs, fridges, toasters, doorbells, phones, &c does SOHOs have?) I would *not* like to see "us" make the same mistake with IPv6 that was made with IPv4, handing out large blocks of space like so many pieces of M&M or Skittles candy.Nay, nay, and thrice nay. Don't think in terms of addresses for IPv6, think in terms of subnets. I can't stress this enough, it's the big v4 to v6 paradigm shift - don't think about "how many hosts on this net", think about "how many nets".Think of how many large ISP's a /3 of ipv6 effectively holds, assuming that /48 per customer is the norm, and /24 up to /12 assignments for those ISP's is also. In those terms IPv6 isnt that much bigger.
I haven’t seen evidence that any RIR has allocated an entire /12 to an ISP. Even a large one.
