I can imagine DSL operators offering /64 (single subnet) and /128 (single host) assignments to some customers (in the same way that single IPv4 addresses are often assigned now), in which case these 1,000,000 customers could be handled with an allocation of between a /39 and a /103 while maintaining an HD ration of 0.8 within that allocation - i.e. one /32 would be more than enough!
IAB/IESG recommendation state /48 should be used in scenarios like this.
Personally, I don't agree with the "/48 for all" policy but it's there so I suppose we have to live with it... Note, however, that rfc3177 is just the IAB/IESG *recommendations* in the form of a "best current practices" RFC. James
