      Dear Michiel,              28 Jan 19 15:51, you wrote to me:              [dd]               MV>>> If you need more than a /56 on a home network, you are doing        MV>>> something wrong.               VS>> Unfortunately I don't have native IPv6 connectivity, and HE does        VS>> not offer /56s on its tunnels, only /48s so I don't have much        VS>> choice.               MV> So? Just use whatever you need from the /48 and ignore the rest. There        MV> is no shortage of IPv6 addresses,,,              Currently there are only 35 trillion /48 networks in the global 2000::/3 pool,       if I've counted correctly. One trillion is not that many, it's the quantity of       stars in the Andromeda galaxy, or the quantity of bacteria living in one human       being...              With the 64bit interface identifier, there will probably never be a shortage       of IPv6 *addresses* in a network, but well may be a shortage of IPv6 network       *blocks* if they are given out in an irresponsive manner. IMHO.               VS>> I've tried several times to switch to Rostelecom who is rumored        VS>> to offer IPv6 connectivity, but as soon as I start talking with        VS>> their salespeople they fall into stupor and promise to call        VS>> later.               MV> Be patient. I have been pestering Ziggo for a decade before they        MV> stopped dragging their feet on IPv6. ;-)              :-)                     Victor Sudakov, VAS4-RIPE, VAS47-RIPN       --- GoldED+/BSD 1.1.5-b20160322-b20160322        * Origin: Ulthar (2:5005/49)    |
