I have to agree with Dan on this one, Look at the numbers (especially for small to mid-sized business and residential): /56 = 256 /64's subnets /60 = 16 /64's subnets http://www.sixscape.com/joomla/sixscape/index.php/ipv6-training-certification/ipv6-forum-official-certification/ipv6-forum-network-engineer-silver/network-engineer-silver-ipv6-subnetting/ipv6-subnetting-general-subnetting At 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 per /64, that is a lot of address. Right now I cannot get IPv6 at home so I will take getting "screwed" with a /56 or /60 and be estatic about it. Curtis
One of the key things with IPv6 (IMHO) is to stop thinking about addresses, and instead just think about networks. Judging by Owen's earlier mail I may not have that quite right and the key might even be to think about hierarchies - in either case counting the number of individual addresses is something we just don't need to do any more.
