Hi Matthew,

Suggest /128's for loopbacks and /124's for point to points, all from
the same /64. This way you don't burn space needlessly, don't open
yourself to neighbor discovery issues on point to points and can
filter inbound Internet packets to that /64 in one fell swoop so that
it's harder to hit your routers directly. Just make sure not to filter
the outbound packets.

Reminder: No matter what size you pick, use nibble boundaries for
visual and DNS convenience. So /124, not /126.

Regards,
Bill Herrin
