> my ISP still gives me only a single IPv6 address
This is criminal, and also incredibly uncommon. You should talk to your ISP, it's most definitely a misconfiguration of some kind, if not deliberate torture. Normally you get a /56 at least because there are so many and they cost nothing.
- aidenn0 9mo agoDatapoint of 1: With Cox as my ISP, I can get a /64 just by configuring my DHCPv6 client to request it, but if I wanted a /56 or /48 I would have to contact someone at my ISP.
- tucnak 9mo agoI'm beginning to think it might be a US thing. Every time there's an ISP horror story, it's always the US.
- aboardRat4 9mo agoNah, we have the same thing in China.
- jcalvinowens 9mo agoThere are exceptions, my ISP is Sonic and /56 prefix delegation works flawlessly with them.
- InfamousRece 9mo agoSame at my place. I get a /64 prefix and my router simply cannot work with that at all.
- aboardRat4 9mo agoNot at all. In China, where I live, this is often the case. Many Huawei routers do it by default: they serve ULAs on LAN and do nat6 to a single public v6 address. Is not "deliberate torture", it's just the easiest way to implement things
- jcalvinowens 9mo ago> they serve ULAs on LAN and do nat6 to a single public v6 address I've never seen this and I'm curious: do they actually pick a random /48 out of fd00::/8 like they're supposed to?
- etyhhgfff 9mo agoWhat does IPv6 /56 cost if I would like to buy one for a server?
- jcalvinowens 9mo agoAWS will give you a "permanent" /56 for free in each region (in their address space, obviously)
