Yes, IPv6 provide much more address space but if this address space will be wastefully allocated as IPv4, history will repeat itself Community should be more farseeing to avoid similar situation in future (and if we hope that any toothbrush will pretend for its own IPv6 address - near future) So, the strong recommendation to give customers between a /48 and a /64 (and /64 even for a single machine) - is the right way to lay the foundation of a new address space exhaustion -- Best wishes, Andrey Semenchuk Trifle Internet Service Provider (056) 731-99-11 www.trifle.net
