However, this is an example of someone being stuck on IPv4 methods. With IPv4, the shortage of addresses limited what an ISP could offer. With IPv6, there's absolutely no valid reason for not offering at least a /64 subnet.
Of course there are valid reasons for this...
I get my IPv6 subnet from a tunnel broker and it's a /56 (256 /64 subnets).
If you want to setup your net for more than 256 users then you as their ISP would not give everybody a ::/64 net. Of course you are a bad ISP with only such a ::/56 net almost as bad as Lew's ISP with only ::/64 for 6000 users. The reason to "not offering at least a ::/64 subnet" for everybody is still _valid_. cu, Rudi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
