> But the fact is we give each mobile phone is /64 today, and each RG (resident gateway) a /56.  So giving a host a /64 is already a widely existed current practice.   

Note that if a mobile device (maybe not a phone!) is acting as a local hotspot, it needs a prefix, not an address, and /64 is the longest prefix that respects the current addressing architecture. Even that does not allow subnetting.

All it did was reviewing the existing ND issues and solutions, and suggested how to select a solution based on the deployment scenario.
