Colleagues,
I was discussing the possibility of using IPv6 prefix lengths greater
than 64 bits with some colleagues and wondered if anyone had any
experience with doing so. Specifically, has anyone tried it?
Thoughts?
One of my colleague tried /126 with DHCPv6 address assignment and it
seems
to be mediocre success:
Linux (Dibbler) client was working almost alright - with some extension
Windows Vista failed - not really supporting longer prefix.
for point-to-point links prefix longer than /64 was worked without any
problem on Cisco boxes.
