Hemant, Fair enough. I suppose that there are enough /55's or /56's that every household can have one; however, it does make "right sizing" the initial allocation to the ISP very important. We would not want to be allocating non-contiguous /28's on a regular basis :-)

Alternatively, the ISP may just dole out a delegated prefix shorter than a /64 and the CPE Rtr has to live with it but the ISP may use something like a /55 that gives sufficient number of links in the home LAN. I will reply to any more discussion on this thread once I reach Hiroshima. Hemant -----Original Message----- From: Dunn, Jeffrey H.

Subject: RE: Fwd: Broadband Forum liaison to IETF on IPv6 security OK. Then the CPE router has a unique /64 for all of its broadcast domains? Does that mean that the customer needs to tell the ISP how many /64 prefixes they need? Best Regards, Jeffrey Dunn Info Systems Eng., Lead MITRE Corporation.
