As an example of how big ipv6 is, we got a /29 from ripe at a not very big at all ISP, which even if we had handed out a /48 to each and every DIA customer physical location/cpe, would have lasted us at our projected growth rate for the next several hundred years.

And that was in addition to the ARIN /32 we already had.



I've got my own homelab /44 prefix for only 15€/yr. /48 would have been fine too, but /44 was the smallest they had.


From some LIRs you can get an ASN + a /40 for life for $50. And even less if they decide to do a sale.

And the /40 would be an actual "ASSIGNED-BY-LIR" sub-allocation that you could also sub-allocate as you see fit.
