RE: Fwd: Broadband Forum liaison to IETF on IPv6 security

Hemant,

Fair enough. I suppose that there are enough /55's or /56's that every household can have one; however, it does make "right sizing" the initial allocation to the ISP very important. We would not want to be allocating non-contiguous /28's on a regular basis :-)

Jeffrey,

The answer to your question is a yes.  Alternatively, the ISP may just dole out a delegated prefix shorter than a /64 and the CPE Rtr has to live with it but the ISP may use something like a /55 that gives sufficient number of links in the home LAN.  I will reply to any more discussion on this thread once I reach Hiroshima.

OK. Then the CPE router has a unique /64 for all of its broadcast domains? Does that mean that the customer needs to tell the ISP how many /64 prefixes they need?
