Hi Brian, > Which means: 64 bits.
Sorry but what is so magic about /64 here ? Is this coming from the longest routable IPv6 prefix ? Sort of analogy to /24 in the IPv4 world ? Or something else ? I think LPM and CIDR techniques are pretty well established. Any fixed length of the address block with the meaning - do not use those bits inter or intra domain for anything useful even if your prefix+node can happily fit in /32 seems just dead wrong to me. And that is irrespective of any SRv6 discussion. In my books if I get allocated say /48 or /40 from RIR what I do with the remaining bits is my own business.
