Hi Randy,
I have done binary math for long enough to know what I am saying :) but I acknowledge that may be I worded it incorrectly in my last email.
The point I am trying to make here is that a /64 seems just too big of an address space to assign to end-customers (especially when these end-customers donot happen to be enterprises or corporate customers but SOHOs or residential edge customers).
regards
Usman

your math is
