How Much Space Do I Need as an ISP?

[Samuel Mwamsaku]

Use the lookup table to estimate how many bits are required at each level to get the right prefix length of the address

Can some assist on how much space do I need as an ISP? I’m lost on the procedure how to find number of number.

Thanks in advance

Try use 52 prefix ( 52 – ( Cities Bits + Housing Estates + Housing Units ) )

[Stephen Olude]

I now know how to plan for my IPV6

log(expected value)/lo(2) = x

the number of space to each home network j – number of POP i- number of estate e on each pop – number of housing unit u on each housing estate = required subnet /y (j – i – e – u =/y).

Should traffic for every device to be separated by different VLANs? i suppose we need millions vlans at some point

[samson Mawisire]

its going to depend current situation and also provision for growth. Typically a /32

[Dersio Jason IE SAIO SA]

but why we dont have 50 instead of 72

[Jonas Ababio]

Assigning a /60 to a housing unit gives room for 16 * /64 subnets == 16 different VLANs which is enough for a home.🤔

As an ISP with a <b data-path-to-node="”8,0,0″" data-index-in-node="”31″">/32 allocation, if you decide to give every single customer a <b data-path-to-node="”8,0,0″" data-index-in-node="”93″">/56 prefix instead of a <b data-path-to-node="”8,0,0″" data-index-in-node="”117″">/48, how many more customers can you support?
