Sorry for the double posting.

But Just to add to the info, the RFC 3177 did specify assignment to
remote site even house being /48 and big site like /47

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3177

Crazy.

The revise version of it RFC 6177 correct that crazy assignment and
specif that you should do /56.

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6177

But that is still even crazy specially when you see users using NAT64 on
IPv6...

Anyway, back to my rock and I hope it help you address your assignment
anyway.
