Best Opeating Practice has it that        MV> customers should at least get a /56. many give a /48.              Scroogy?, huh.... oh God, don't get me started on this a-holes, provides       *guess* billions of IPs on the same network block are better than good around       here, /48 would be --according to the-- for enterprise customers so I will try       to have them assign a /48 because I also tried getting my *roaming* IPv6 /48       from LACNIC, my RIR but USD$1,200/yr for hobby is kinda dealbreaker               MV> Are you sure you can't get more than just a /64? If not, for me that        MV> would be a reason to take my bussines elsewhere...              Yup, trust me, been there, done that, but that unfortunately is the only one       that you can get to do bridge mode on the CPE for IPv4, we're way behind down       here in South America (except Brazil) when it comes to v6, as I said I throw       hate everytime I can to those grumpy old-men with their brains stuck on IPv4       and the /30 and v4 VLSM practices migrated to IPv6.              The otehr issue I do not want to rn n into is using Tunnelbroker, it's slow       because of it's 6to4 tunnel nature, but it's an alternative, I do like HE, but       being a VPN and its inherent drawbacks drives me away.                      MV> Cheers, Michiel              Right back at ya               MV> --- GoldED+/W32-MSVC 1.1.5-b20170303        MV> * Origin: he.net certified sage (2:280/5555)              David                     --- GoldED+/W32-MSVC 1.1.5-b20180707        * Origin: SkyNet BBS | telnet://bbs.skynetbbs.com:20023 (4:930/1)       SEEN-BY: 90/0 104/117 105/81 106/201 128/187 153/7715 218/700 226/30       SEEN-BY: 227/114 229/110 114 206 317 400 426 427 428 470 550 616 664       SEEN-BY: 229/700 266/512 280/464 282/1038 291/111 320/219 322/757       SEEN-BY: 341/66 342/200 396/45 633/280 900/0 106 902/0 19 26 930/1       PATH: 930/1 902/26 229/426           |
