I see the lack of agreement on whether /48 or /56 or /60 is good for a
home network to be a positive thing.
As long as there's no firm consensus, router vendors will have to implement
features which don't make silly hard-coded assumptions.
Innovation will still happen, features will still be implemented, we'll
still climb out of the NAT morass. But we'll do it with CPE that allows fo=
r
a richer spectrum of variation than we would if we just said, "Dammit, /48 =
for
everyone."
It's all good. At this stage of the game, any amount of "moving forward" i=
s
better than staying where we are.
