Re: IPv6 Default Allocation - What size allocation are you giving out

Fair point....

just as a follow up question... is giving a /64 to a Residential Customer not a good idea, because it would not allow 
them to have additional routed segments ? (since Best Practices is to use a /64 on each link as link connectivity 
address) or is there some other reasoning that I am failing to see/ understand ?

You should probably increase those allocations.

Residential & Small Business Customers:   /56

Medium & Large size Business Customers: /48

Multi-location Business Customer: /48 per site

Here is what i have understood so far:-

Residential Customers:   /64

Small & Medium size Business Customers: /56

Large Business size or a multi-location Business Customer: /48

Don't skimp on allocating the subnets like we do on IPv4
Better to be 'wasteful' than have to come back to re-number or re-allocate
