Thanks for the feedback. I just want to confirm something. You wrote: If you choose to do this, it is further recommended that you reserve the entire /64 so that - if needed in the future - you can expand this configuration _without_ a major renumbering event. This is the essence of what I

Thanks Wes for the feedback. Some points I'd like to further comment on: i. You mentioned that a re-address event is no different from re-masking the links- this is true to an extent but I think changing subnet mask would still be relatively easier to manage than having to re-address all links

Indeed, and I see a sheer wastage in blocking the entire /64 whose one /127 is used on p2p links. There are many deployments that already assign bunch of /64 (or lower) prefixes per hierarchy and encode bunch of useful info in 72-96 and then assign thousands of /127s out of each /96 (or
