/96 isn't enough for residential IMHO. I believe residential should get a /48 just like any other end site. The reason for /64 subnets is to enable us to move away from host-count based networks and apply a one-size fits all approach to network segmentation and get away from fragmented subnets that outgrow their prefixes. While multiple networks per household (let alone 65,536 of them) may seem profligate today, there are future possibilities that will be hindered by stingy residential allocations and there is no actual benefit to the Internet from such conservative measures in IPv6. It is somewhat unfortunate that APNIC has selected a pricing model which, by it's very nature encourages providers to be arbitrarily stingy with Address space. Owen Sent from my iPad
