I would like to echo some comments by David Conrad and Mark Smith. a /48 or 65,536 /64 subnets does seem like an overly large assignment to a residential user. IMHO moving the boundary to a /56 is completely missing the boat on what the actual problem is. We discovered that classful addresses

Ralph, Thomas - is there any way in which you can quantify excessive? Whether excessive is an appropriate word to use is a judgement call. YMMV. But, the word excessive is literally the word I hear many people (especially in the RIR and operational community) use when talking about this issue.

Hi, Following on from Jordi's comment, In addition, as an end user, it provides a recommendation to ISPs to provide a reduced service in terms of the number of subnets, instead of the actual /48 recommendations (with a clear example for /56), which I think is very bad, especially when it is
