      Dear Michiel,              27 Jan 19 10:55, you wrote to me:               VS>> And thinking about SOHO and home routers/firewalls, what kind of        VS>> IPv6 connectivity are they going to have, what do you think?        VS>> Those present who have native IPv6 connectivity, what's your        VS>> ISP's policy on assigning addresses to customers?               MV> My ISP assigns a /56 on a home connection              As a standard package?               MV> and a /48 on a bussines pro        MV> connection.

For my        VS>> current home network, I use five /64s, so for me it would be a        VS>> /56 at least.               MV> If you need more than a /56 on a home network, you are doing something        MV> wrong.              Unfortunately I don't have native IPv6 connectivity, and HE does not offer       /56s on its tunnels, only /48s so I don't have much choice.              I've tried several times to switch to Rostelecom who is rumored to offer IPv6       connectivity, but as soon as I start talking with their salespeople they fall       into stupor and promise to call later.              Victor Sudakov, VAS4-RIPE, VAS47-RIPN       --- GoldED+/BSD 1.1.5-b20160322-b20160322        * Origin: Ulthar (2:5005/49)    |
