An ADSL IPv6 operational deployment offers a /64 prefix at home.
With that, I can't subnet _and_ use IPv6 stateless auto-configuration.
In a typical IPv6 ADSL household landscape the ISP will assign you a
/48 with plenty of subnetting space.
Not sure, FWIW, in the IPv6 ADSL household I live in gives me a /64
and not /48 (see draft-despres-v6ops-6rd-ipv6-rapid-deployment-01.txt).
That's typical for me but I don't know about the other deployed IPv6
ADSL, do they give /64 or shorter prefixes?
The draft-despres-v6ops-6rd-ipv6-rapid-deployment-01.txt is largely
irrelevant in this discussion,
Well thank you for the note :-) That's what I live with :-) I'll
deviate the discussion in another thread.
In general - my recommendation when I giving tutorials about IPv6:
- /48 to /128 is delegated to end users
- /48 general case, /47 if justified for bigger networks
- /64 if one and only one network is required
- /128 if it is sure that one and only one device is going to be connected
between /48 - /64 up to you if you are cautious about address conservation:
- but use nibble boundary for easier reverse DNS delegation.
I think that sounds as good, careful recommendation, except that maybe a
/48 delegated to a household (be that a castle) is too much.
