Then as another poster suggested, they deserve whatever pain they suffer from this. Mark is correct… It is the ISP’s poor decision in these cases that is the problem.

While /48s are not scarce globally, there is a significant cost to going back to the RIR for a larger allocation. You have to show active utilization of your existing space in order to get more. As such, ISPs are going to be motivated not to treat blocks as disposable entities. > Also, it seems so bizarre that in order to TRY to solve this, we have to make > sure that MASSIVE numbers of individual IPv6 IP addresses.. that equal > numbers that my calculate can't reach (too many digits)... would all be > allocated to one single combined usage scenario.

Once you get some experience with the conveniences and other advantages it brings, it’s actually pretty easy to wrap your head around. Owen
