That was indeed the original question.

In my scenario, the same as yours, I would assign a /48 to each branch
office. Too many subnets I would say. However, if the customer from a
central point asked for a range for all his branch offices I wouldn't
hesitate in assigning one /48 for him/her to use wherever appropriate.

The problem from an adminitrative side is that we rarely get the customer to
fill out a network request for all sites but rather request ranges per site
as they are up for installation.

Hi all,

please, let´s get back to the main question - what is a site ?

I think we need a definition for this, because we find a lot of different
means (eg. endsite, single network, customer, subscriber) in the IPv6
allocation and assignment policy and the RFC3177.

Lets view a concrete example :
A customer of us, a shipping company has ten brances at ten different
locations. And he is running a seperated network behind our acces router on
each loctaion.

>From our point of view and understanding the RFC3177 each location is a site
and we assign a /XX to each branch.

Do you agree on this, or are there different opinions ?

Kind regards
