Hello Tony,
The University of new Hampshire acquired a /48 a couple years ago as that =
is what ARIN was offering. Since then ARIN policy has changed and they are=
more inclined to issue /32s to higher Ed if you can make a case as a LIR (=
local Internet Registry). We are currently in the process of transitioning=
to a /32. Some general items that may qualify your college is if your ins=
titution has customers outside the college, like k-12 schools, libraries, n=
on-profits, remote sites (research sites) or possibly even separate departm=
ents like CS, Electrical Eng., Physics or others.
In general we plan to assign /48s to different groups at UNH such as CS, RC=
C (Research Computing), UNH-IOL (interoperability Lab), Cooperative Extensi=
on, distance learning, WIFI networks, and others.
I did a little research and other universities of the size and character of=
UNH all have /32s. It may seem like overkill and probably is but it seems =
to be the standard for institutions like UNH. The more research I did the=
more convinced I became that a /48 would at some point limit or capabiliti=
es. As a final check, I asked industry leader in IPv6 testing and certific=
ation, UNH IOL (www.iol.unh.edu) , what they thought and they confirmed tha=
t a /32 is the norm for our type of scenario.
We have around 12k undergrads and act as an ISP for various groups around t=
he state. The /32 should give us the opportunity provide IPv6 services lim=
ited only by imagination.
I hope this is some help. Let me know if you have further questions.
Thank You,
Scott Kitterman

You can easily get a /48 - that's what we got. My understanding is that is =
what most folks will get. If you can make a good case you might be able to =
get something slightly larger (like a /46).
A /48 should be plenty big...

The /32 would get me 79 septillion IP addresses...seems like enough ;-)... =
but what's the going reservation size you have or are contemplating?
