Is anybody envisioning home networks with more than 100 subnets? What are people doing there?
It is very obvious to me... every household has a network engineer that likes (and needs) to play with routing... ;-)))
Are you the *typical* end customer...? Neither you nor me are (and I do well with about 4-5 network segments at home right now). But as I can see so far, nobody is aiming for a "no more /48s!!" policy, we're just discussiong potentially smaller assignments for the SOHO market. [..]
I've already expressed that the current /48 is a restriction -- i would be more in favour of allowing LIRs to assing /56s, BUT allowing end-users to grow upto /48s without any questions asked. :-)
I agree with that. Getting a /48 instead of "the default size" should be fairly easy.
