There is no option to give "10 addresses" to a user - period. What about transfer networks? How do you handle those?
The RFC says "all networks get a /64" (unless running unnumbered).
I'm not concerned with the network, but with the IP addresses which are given to routers. Or are you expected to run autoconfiguration on transfer networks?
Indeed, this is an interesting issue, and each ISP will find his own way to handle this. Currently, we tend to use the "<prefix>::1" on our side of all links, and the customer can use whatever he likes - which is usually ::2. Autoconfiguration for routers works, but is not overly helpful, as the other router on the network needs to know the router's IP to route packets in its direction... - unless you run OSPFv3 (or ISIS), in which case IPv6 autoconfig (or "just use link-locals") would actually work fine.
