Exactly!

 

In fact, not using it is very bad when you want to offer 5G broadband to customers that may not have access to a wireline. If they aren’t able to get /48 thru the 5G “modem”, how come they can segment their network? This is just creating NAT for IPv6, as if a 5G broadband customer needs to have multiple /64 VLANs, they have no other way.

is to remove the "64 bit" statement from the addressing architecture,
which the WG has consistently failed to reach consensus about.

 

    Gyan>  This topic has come up many times over the years in heated debate and this is another instance of that.  Agreed.  However, what makes this instance different is that we have a major problem to be solved with 4G  &  now as 5G is rolled out, segmentation is of utmost importance.  I think in the past we have not had a major problem to be solved and so this change being proposed did not gain traction,  but now as 5G becomes the "norm" as it will compete directly with broadband that customers will start using 5G in SOHO as well as other environments.   This is a major issue that has come up with the ramp up for 5G IPv6 only deployments.

 

There is already a solution to this: use DHCPv6 PD on 5G networks. It's been supported since 3GPP release 10 several years ago.
