DNS is supposed to be for aliasing an address, not moving an address eBGP-ally.<div><br></div><div>The same reason we have dialing codes (international, regional, local, whatever) for phone numbers is why we can't have /48s completely infinitely portable, at least not with BGP anyway.</div>
<div><br></div><div>It makes far more sense to use a DNS style alias approach for things like a mobile 'number' you can take anywhere in the world to any provider and have it hooked up, as in, what you should be taking anywhere is your "Skype" number and how you are reached is purely determined by which provider you are 'logged into' as opposed to what IPv6 address you are actually connecting from.<br>

Correct.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>A /22 of IPv4 is equal to a /32 IPv6. So you get up to a /32
of v6 for no extra fee.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>BUT... If you are a business, expect only a /48... If you
are a Service Provider, you can probably justify a /32.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>but seriously... a /48 is a TONNE for a business. The only
reason you'd want more is if you have multiple networks in
geographic disparate locations with different upstreams.<br>

<br>
TL;DR version:<br>
<ul>
<li>Businesses: allocate a /48 for every building, no matter how
small.</li>
<li>ISPs: allocate a /48 for every residential customer.<br>
</li>
<li>Consistency is much more important than waste management.</li><span><font color="#888888">
