I read this when it came out. While I understand exactly what Jeff is saying, I personally don't agree with his approach. <div><br></div><div>I personally would like to see something else happen.... and I know this is far out, but here goes.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I'd like to see individuals to be able to get a /48 themselves... for it to be 'theirs' that they can take to ANY ISP they like (or more than one) and get announced. They could keep it for life in theory.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I see that it could be like a cell/mobile number... port it, move it around, use it on your cell phone or anything you like... imaging wandering into a cell store and saying 'use this /64 please for my handset'.</div>
<div><br></div><div>There is enough /48's to do that for the entire planet, squillions of times over.... so why not? Well, obviously BGP technology would have to change just a little bit ;-) But I am sure it could be done.</div>
<div><br></div><div>THEN, ISPs wouldn't even need that much space themselves if every business and individual had their own space for all their own devices ;-)</div><div><br></div><div>BOOM! Mind blown.<br clear="all">

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>

Jeff Doyle begged to differ on this a little while back:<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 class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888">
