I'm not sure what your point is -- I took Keith's comment to mean
that home NATs with v6 were completely unacceptable.


/64's do NOT imply that there's NAT functionality involved, just
that there's
a single subnet, yes?
yes, but it's unreasonable to expect a home user to not need to
subnet. particularly when there are so many different media
competing for the home network space....it would be reasonable to
have a subnet for each medium.


I originally agreed with you on that.  However, given modern switches,
I'm not nearly as convinced.
