become evident that it faces several scaling and coordination

In the case where a device is given a /64 (e.g. mobile phone
running SLAAC only, not DHCP), there is no protocol allowing them
to provide downstream routed layer 3 subnets, because all they
have is a /64. This applies more to nodes which do not have
DHCPv6.
