Hi,

Well, ~5.9 million if you are giving all customers a /56. But if you are giving all customers a /56 you have 16 million /56's to use. That is a 37% usage of the block. It's already a lot better than the 80% rule in IPv4-space.

> Changing /48 to /56 as size-of-measurement is one problem

What is the problem? If you hand out /56's to a customer you count '1 /56 assigned'. If you hand out a /48 to a customer you count '256 /56's assigned'.

PS: I do agree with you that we should use the address space that IPv6 is providing
