Didn't you have to give any documentation about your network at all to the RIR from which you received this allocation? I would expect them to at least as where you have your customers and how much space you would be giving you. As the design of your network really completely depends on where you have your network and where you have your clients and also, don't forget maybe not important for you but it will be for your followers if you expect your organization to be around for a while, where they will be in the coming 50 years and longer... In general you will be giving a /48 per client, if you are not you are either lying to the RIR's or you are dead sure they only have one link you could give them a /64. Thus estimate how many clients you will have at a certain location in the coming X years, times /48, round it up quite some bit to a nice multiple of 2 so that it nicely fits and tada. > Pointers to the right words to put in "justfuckinggoogleit" to return > something useful are welcome too ;-) "school network administration planning" ?
