Subject: Re: [44net] AMPRNet Address Sale
We have tunnel Brooker /48 with a /48 from my hosting
provider. A /48 can
be split into numerous /56. I am yet to find anyone to day
they filled a
/64 yet alone /56 or a /48
A /64 is, if you use stateless autoconfiguration (which is recommended IPv6
practice), simultaneously "full" and "roomy". It is designed to allow
all
Ethernet devices to receive a unique IP address, and have some overflow for
manual numbering (e.g. of routers). Until we exhaust MAC addresses of
Ethernet devices, it literally can't run out of addresses.
It's one of the things I really like about IPv6. But we digress from the
main topic.
