It is does not appear realistic to expect ISPs to "interview" each customer and ask them whether they intend to subnet or not.
so, you think it's not realistic to ask the customer if he intends to subnet or not ? ipv4 view: why not to give all your dialup customers in ipv4 per default a /28 delegation, and the customer decides to do NAT, all in one subnet, or more subnets ? no, i would give everyone /64 per default, unless the customer says, "no, i want to do subneting", then i will give him a /48 without discussion. thats my point of view.
Everyone will probably end up with a /48: it reduces costs for the ISP.
ipv4 view: some years ago,....: Everyone will probably end up with a /24 hm...i think the cost point isn't a good argument, sorry. does it cost so much to do subnetting ? you have one block with /64 delegations and one with /48's. so where is the problem ? take a /64 give it to the customers, if he says no, thake the other one.
