Hi,
I don't know exactly the logic behind /64, but if you argue
that /96 is enough for residential,
people can also argue 64bits or even 32bits is also
more than enough for service network subnets,
in addition to that, the potential
growth of subnets is not huge,
but the potential growth of devices type is
unpredictable.

Subject: [sig-policy] Need to understand
logic behind assigning /64 IPv6addresses
Hi,
I am trying to understand the reasoning and logic behind IETF/IANA's
decision to recommend assignments of /64 addresses to residential CPEs
??
In my opinion, this would result in a lot of unnecessary wastage of IPv6
address space.
Can someone help me to point towards the drivers behind this
thinking?
IMO a /96 IPv6 assignment to residential customers is more than
enough.
regards
Usman
