Hi.
Don't think 200 /48 is totally unrealistic. There is a point in
keeping the global ipv6 routing table small.
Things however depends on how rapidly the industry will adapt ipv6
into their equipment.
Also In the near future we will without a doubt see more connected
household appliances. At the moment It's really, really hard to predict
growth rate. I would say 200 /48  within 2 years.. Maybe, maybe not :-)

Best regards.
