As much as I don't want to resurrect this conversation again or beat a dead (now glued) horse: In the SOHO arena, today's NAT users may or may not opt to use SPI down the road. Many people just opt for the cheapest working solution and use defaults, so what we end up depends on what vendors like L

Do you really think that today's allocations are going to be in use (unchanged) when people are building homes out of IPv6-addressed nanobots, or when people are trying to firewall the fridge from the TV remote, etc.? I certainly hope not- but then again I never thought IPv4 would be around thi

That's 281,474,976,710,656 /48 customer networks. It's 16 million times the number of class C's in the current IPv4 Internet. Am I just not thinking large or long term enough? No, you are just counting wrong. When you are talking /48's you are talking "number of bits of of subnet hierarchy", n

The only place in which people have noted that there is a possibility of running out of bits in the existing IPv6 addressing hierarchy is when they look at a model where every residential customer gets a /48. In that scenario there is a possibility that we might runout in 50 to 100 years from no

So if /64 is "subnet" rather than "node" then the practice of placing one and only one node per subnet is pretty wasteful. The whole point here is flexibility. IEEE defined several standards for globally unique identifiers including EUI-48/MAC-48 and EUI-64. MAC-48 should last us til 2100, bu
