Ok I know that it's stipulated that IPv6 should be a /64, and never really change, but I came across some slides talking about using /126 or /127s for point to point links (which sparked a discussion at work). Thinking along the lines of the /30 concept with IPv4, for arguments sake, if I wanted to work out what IP addresses I can manually configure on either end of my p2p link, that's using IPv6, am I right in saying I use the same approach as with IPv4 for working out the IP addresses.
So if I say a /126 is - 1111111111111100 in binary. The last two bits give me networks of 0,4,8 and so on. with usable ip's of 1,2 and 3. Now the 3 comes into play as there's no concept of broadcast in IPv6 (!?), so why do we need the broadcast IP as previously required for IPv4??? Is this technically correct?
