From the input I received I got the impression that you have to assign a /64 no matter what. So it means you use 2 IPs (or 10 in my case) and toss the other 2 - 2^64 away and then continue with next customer and assign a new /64 and so on. I hope I see the point of all this address waste in a few years. In the mean time I'll just do it(tm).
Hi, *long time listener, first time speaking up'er* I share the views of Mr. Hovland, using a /64 for networks that only requires a few addresses seems like such a waste. Personally, I use /126 for p2p links. And, I see the point in 'we have more addresses than there are people in this world'. I haven't done the math for it, but if we waste 18446744073709551614 addresses for every single customer, will this stick? Will we regret it sometime in the future? (or rather; will our grandchildren think we were stupid in the future?) <joke> Me and a guy from work had a laugh, and visioned ourselvs being old, and being interviewed by 'Discovery History' because we ran out of IPv6 addresses saying: "I remember I was a kid back then, but that's what I thought would happen..' </joke> -- Sincerely, Espen Holm Nilsen
