If you *do* have 200 IPv6 customers *today* (those that pay for the service, not necessarily IPv6 service, but something), I'd surely consider one a real player here.
But an issue is about DSL operators with 1,000,000 IPv4 customers beginning to introduce IPv6 services..
I don't see any issue with DSL operators. Can you explain it ?
With HD ratio of 80%, the operator would require a /23.
and ? There is enough adress space for that. DSL lines will be used for home networks, and home networks are one of the reasons for the /48.
Sure, if you go ask IANA for more (considerably more). I'd like to see the faces of RIR hostmasters when a few DSL/dialup etc. ISP's hand in address applications for their whole DSL/dialup service line..
If an ISP has 1 million custommers, you give it enough adress space for static allocation (DSL is *not really* dial up) The /23 seems to be *big* but it's smaller than a /8 in IPv4
Depends on how you count :-). IPv6 /23 is roughly equivalent to IPv4 /7 (48-23=25, 32-25=7) assuming every customer would get one IPv4 address. I don't really see any of these /8's currently being used being all that densely populated.. -- Pekka Savola "Tell me of difficulties surmounted, Netcore Oy not those you stumble over and fall" Systems.
