Agreed=85 Unforutnately, the big guys (Comcast, AT&T) in America seem to =
like victimizing their customers with undersized assignments, limiting =
choice of proper prefix sizes to only their business class customers. =
I=92m not sure why they are doing this. I know when I=92ve had =
conversations with them, they haven=92t exactly given a reason so much =
as just said that they thought a /48 was ridiculous.
Of course, if AT&T is blocking protocol 41, that=92s even worse, because =
at least so long as that isn=92t blocked, you can still get an HE tunnel =
and get a /48 if you need it anyway.
