Thanks, Jan.<br>

So the main issue is implementation buggy-ness in CPE and client OS
code. Being IPv6, there are many moving parts to make this a quickly
solvable problem in the near future.<br>
<br>
Personally, I have no issue hard-coding PD assignments to customers.
I realize IPv4 assignments to customers were random because we were
running out of space in that protocol rather quickly. With IPv6
being as vast as it is, and considering that customers would
generally prefer the same address space assigned to them for life,
it really is a win-win.<br>
<br>
I don't run a consumer service network, and the last consumer
network I ran several years ago had not yet started deploying IPv6
to its home customers, so I can't speak from real experience.
However, if I did run a consumer network, I'd hard-code PD
assignments to usernames. It's just so much easier, and your
customers (particularly the tech-savvy ones) will love you for it!
As long as you have a clean mechanism for dealing with customer
churn and space reclamation, you're good.<br>
