Currently the smallest network of physical devices (a home user's subnet) gets the largest block of addresses (/64 in size) from the LIR. There is a logic issue here. Thus we get the need for larger LIR IPv6 allocations. And dependencies on /64 subnets go beyond SLAAC and ND. If/when RIPE has a say on what happens beyond 2000::/3, where /64 subnets are required, then we can come up with ideas on smallest subnet size. Hardware should be sophisticated enough by then to handle such practical needs in case bit alignment is an issue. -Ahmed -------------------------------------------------- From: "Jan Zorz @ go6.si" <jan@go6.si> Sent: Tuesday, July 19, 2011 12:32 PM To: <ipv6-wg@ripe.net> Subject: Re: [ipv6-wg] additional IPv6 allocation (ripe-512 issues)

You want to change how IPv6 SLAAC works? And ND?
that was my first thought also, but this can't be the idea that Ahmed proposed, it's a bit too far from reality :)
