Hello Markus,

On Saturday January 10 2015 14:06, you wrote to me:

Cheapskates! ;-)

In that case, why don't they just make the whole /48 available to the customer and let the customer play around with the subnets any way he wants?

 MR>  or if they assign all/multiple /56s of the /48 to customers.

In the latter case, that randomization of the new /56 is limited to those that are still free within the /48...

 MvdV>> I can see they really thought about that...

 MR> Have you heard about their idea of prefix coloring for IPv6?

Vaguely. It was one of the things that I filed under: "Hmmm.. if this turns out to be a good idea, I will have a look at it when I get a rountoit.


Cheers, Michiel
