I am trying to understand the reasoning and logic behind IETF/IANA'sdecision
you have contradictory words in the same sentence, iana and logic.
could you point out ietf _recommending_ a /64 for residential customers?to the best of my knowledge, the current ietf thinking is best codifiedin RFC 6177.
IMO a /96 IPv6 assignment to residential customers is more than enough.
the downside of this would be that the customer could not use auto-confon their lan. the general religion on the subject is that ipv6 space iseffectively infinite (a tenet to which i do not subscribe), and a verylarge allocation, e.g. /48 or shorter, should be assigned to eachcustomer.
/56 and /48 are commonly used sizes.
and this is a perfectly good list on which to discuss this aspect ofaddressing policy.
