Thus why didn't you request a larger prefix from ARIN then?
Clearly you can justify it.
Then again, if you are going to provide /56's to home users, nobody will
think you are a bad person and most people will be quite happy already.
In your case I would then reserve (probably topdown) /48's, for the
larger sites/businesses and start allocating bottom-up for /56's to
endusers.
-------------------------------------------------
I haven't requested anything yet. That's why I came to you folks. To learn and then get busy on it. Thanks for your top-down and bottom-up idea. I will probably also intersperse /56s in between allocations as well; filling them in later if it ever gets to that.
