[arin-discuss] IPv6 /32 minimum for extra-small ISP

[Owen DeLong]

You are conflating ISP and End-User policies here.

As an ISP, the IPv6 minimum allocation at this time is a /32 as Randy stated.

I do wonder, however, what size allocation you would want to receive for IPv6 and how many customers you expect to support with ti.  A /40 would only allow you to support, for example, 256 customers.  A /40 costs just as much as a /32.
