   Hi Alexey!   
      
   17 Jan 2022 00:38, from Alexey Vissarionov -> Richard Menedetter:   
      
    RM>> With 1 v6 subnet it is easy, you just announce the subnet.   
    AV> No: when you need to provide the customer with IPv6, you assign one   
    AV> fixed address for a link, and route a /64 subnet through that address.   
    AV> Plastic routers (those sold for 20 EUR) deal with this setup just   
    AV> fine.   
      
   Yeah ... this is what I tried to say.   
   If you have 1 /64 you deal with it easily also in the dumbest router.   
   If you have multiple subnets you need a way to configure which subnet is   
   announced where.   
   This makes it more complicated.   
      
    RM>> If you allow more, you need a way to configure them. (eg. VLANs,   
    RM>> different subnet on different LAN port, etc.)   
    AV> Or simply route more /64 subnets through that address. Or /56 at once.   
      
   This is not really beneficial.   
   From my point of view it makes only sense if you can split them up into   
   multiple different subnets.   
   And for 95+% of people it makes no difference, or they do not care.   
   So ISPs say that this is a business feature, that is only supported by more   
   expensive routers and more expensive ISP services.   
      
    RM>> That is added complexity for a low cost product, where most of   
    RM>> your residential customers will have no clue what this is all   
    RM>> about. So it makes more sense to offer that on higher tier (and   
    RM>> more expensive) services.   
    AV> That violates the KISS principle.   
      
   Yes, and that is exactly the reason why there is only one /64.   
   Keep it simple.

   ... I didn't know international smuggling involved so much lifting.
