I usually like to think of it like: - a 'link', thus a network which is not routed gets a /64. - a routed network gets a /48. The first includes p2p _links_, tunnel _links_ etc. But also an IX with one shared medium counts as a link, even if there are 100.000 devices on that same link. When there is a router in the riddle, then give them a /48. Which is just like you mentioned with 'more infrastructure'. Greets.
