agree what Jan wrote.<br> My suggestion is that this the time to consider not only the technical issues, but also service model issue.<br>Home network will be another market to explore. /56 could allocate multiple subnet for home network devices be grouped into difference function subnets, for easy management, for more secure home network, for possible different innovative service models in the future.<br><br><div id="signEditor"></div>Just my thought on this.<br><br>Cheers,<br>--Yan<br><br><div style="FONT: 9pt ">----- reply email -----<div style="BACKGROUND: #e4e4e4; font-color: black"><b>Sender:</b>Jan Zorz @ go6.si <jan@go6.si></div><div><b>Recipient:</b>bcop <bcop@ripe.net></div><div><b>Time:</b>11/10/2014 19:08:17</div><div><b>Subject:</b>Re: [bcop] IPv6 deployment for small residential providers</div></div><br><blockquote style="BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; PADDING-RIGHT: 0mm; BORDER-TOP: medium none; PADDING-LEFT: 4pt; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0mm; MARGIN: 5pt 0mm 5pt 3.75pt; BORDER-LEFT: black 1.5pt solid; PADDING-TOP: 0mm; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none"><div class="bodyclass"><br> On 09/11/14 13:11, William Waites wrote:<br> > Operationally, what does this mean?
