I had exactly that problem: ISP gives me a /56 but reserves the right to assign a new prefix without previous notice. Solution: I'm using a prefix from the nonroutable fc::/7 range, and i use NAT. Yes, I know, one shall not NAT IPv6, but what else can I do. Cheers MH Am 07.06.2016 um 09:37 schrieb Koenraad Lelong:

I meant running one's own ipv6 router is not mainstream, not whether PD is used by the provider. I'm sure the latter is already mainstream.
Was busy trying with pfSense ;-).
Maybe the setup is not mainstream, but what's the point of getting a /56 prefix when you can't use all of the subnets ? At the moment I don't really need all the subnets, but how I'm going to use ipv6 on my internal network when at any moment my addresses can change ? Of course I could just use the network right behind the dsl-modem/router but I prefer having a linux firewall between my internal network and the wild wide web.
An extra problem is my dsl-modem/router. Its firewall is too limited. Standard all inboud traffic is blocked which is OK. You can allow traffic through for a host (all or individual ports). But you can only specify the host-part of the ipv6-address. That means hosts on a different subnet are not reachable. But that's not on topic here.
