Dual stack IPv6 for IPv4 depletion

Thu Jul 9 02:03:52 UTC 2015

I wasn't aware that residential users had (intentionally) multiple layers of routing within the home. 

I'm also not sure what address length has to do with routability, other than networks filtering prefix lengths. If that's an issue, that customer is covered by the ISP's larger allocation, or they get their own PI space if they're BGPing.

No - it's just a common one. And a bad one. /48s for all opens up a 
whole different world of end-user reachability, routability and 
flexibility that a mere /56 does not.
