[AusNOG] IPv6 Subnet Calculator

5.4.1. Assignment address space size
 

End-users are assigned  an end site assignment from their LIR or ISP.The exact size of the  assignment is a local decision for the LIR or ISP to make, using a  minimum value of a /64 (when only one subnet is anticipated for the end  site) up to the normal maximum of /48, except in cases of extra large  end sites where a larger assignment can be justified. 





Also it would be nice to be able to use autoconfig where possible, so a /64 is a must. We could get away with smaller subnets but I don't really see any benefits of it.

Michael.

There was a minimum allocation somewhere that APNIC recommended to allocate to VLAN/End customer.
  
  Is that where you got /64 from?
