Well, as I sit here, my apartment edge router gets a /60 from Comcast, and
burns through them pretty quick. A subnet for the 4 wired devices,
another for the 2.4Ghz wireless, another for 5ghz wireless, and if I
enabled them another 2 guest wireless subnets.. and then more for any
VLAN I might set up. If I lived in a large enough house, I'm *already*
out of enough address space to easily prefix-delegate to a second router
at the far end of the house.
And yes, this *is* a setup where there's only 1 or 2 devices per most subnets.
So no, the idea is *not at all* to see how we can cram as many devices as
possible onto a subnet. The idea is to set up a networking environment where
it's as easy as possible for even fairly stupid devices to be able to
auto-configure and join in. And there's *really* good security reasons
for your FizzBin 5000 that wants to be a IoT device but you don't really
trust, to end up on a different subnet from your laptop....
