Re: [sig-policy] Need to understand logic behind assigning /64 IPv6 addr

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 codified
in 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-conf
on their lan. the general religion on the subject is that ipv6 space is
effectively infinite (a tenet to which i do not subscribe), and a very
large allocation, e.g. /48 or shorter, should be assigned to each
customer.
/56 and /48 are commonly used sizes.
and this is a perfectly good list on which to discuss this aspect of
addressing policy.
