Hi Wido, I think the /48 is at physical router as gateway , and subnet of /64 at VR of Cloudstack. Cloudstack only keep which /48 prefix and vlan information of this /48 to be later split the /64. to VR.
And the instances is getting singe IPv6 of /64 IP. The VR is getting /64. The default gateway shall goes to /48 of physical router ip . In this case ,does not need any BGP router . Similar concept as IPv4 : /48 subnet of IPv6 is equivalent to current /24 subnet of IPv4 that created in Network. and /64 of IPv6 is equivalent to single IP of IPv4 assign to VM.
