You should be using /126 or /127 for point to point links that touch external networks unless you like extraneous NS messages and full neighbor cache tables. :) On Tue, Jun 27, 2017 at 4:36 PM, Job Snijders wrote: > On Tue, 27 Jun 2017 at 22:29, Krunal Shah wrote: > > > Hello, > > > > What subn

Hello, The common recommendations for IPv6 point to point interface numbering are: /64 /124 /126 /127 /64: Advantages: conforms to IPv6 standard for a LAN link Disadvantages: DOS threats against this design. Looping on a true ptp circuit. Neighbor discovery issues. /124: Advantages: supports mu

What subnet mask you are people using for point to point IPs between two ASes? Specially with IPv6, We have a transit provider who wants us to use /64 which does not make sense for this purpose. isn’t it recommended to use /127 as per RFC 6164 like /30 and /31 are common for IPv4. You can just ig

Once upon a time, William Herrin said: > 112... Could be worse I suppose. They could have picked 113. A /112 means you can always use ::1 and ::2 for you endpoints. Of course, you could allocate at /112 boundary and still use a /126 (or even a /127 and use ::0 and ::1). -- Chris Adams

Well, /112 is not a stupid option (and is far smarter than /64): it contains the whole last nibble of an IPv6, that is x:x:x:x:x:x:x:1234. You always put 1 or 2 at the end, and if needed you are still able to address additional stuff would the point-to-point link become a LAN. And you don't throw

Thanks Bill, I thought with ipv6 it was a sin to subnet on bit boundaries and not on nibble boundaries. Heck, I’m gonna do whatever it takes to NOT subnet on bits with my v6 deployment. Hopefully with v6, gone are the days of binary subnetting math. -Aaron Gould From: William Herrin
