A question about RIPE-690
Hello all, I have a question about RIPE-690. In section 4.1.1 it says: <quote> Using a /64 prefix from a dedicated pool of IPv6 prefixes is the most common scenario and currently the best practice. A separate block of IPv6 space is allocated for the WAN links to the end customer CPEs, so that when CPE connects to the network and performs router discovery, a /64 prefix is used to number both ends of the connection. </quote> My question is that: Is the /64 prefix common for all WAN links or a separate /64 prefix is to be allotted for each WAN link? It may be obvious, but from reading the docs its not clear for me. I understand that for PD it has to be a separate prefix for each customer CPE. Apologies if this is not the right forum for asking this question. X.
Hi Xuo, One /64 prefix per subscriber. Personally, I prefer (and did that way in many customers) option 4.1.4 (/64 prefix out of the IPv6 prefix assigned to the end-user), as per RFC6603.

Hi. A separate one for each customer. Allocate the /64 and use whatever you’d like (/64, /126, /127, etc.) Luis On Thu, 23 Jun 2022 at 08:08 Xuo Guoto <xuoguoto@protonmail.com> wrote:
