other than the fact that it's wasteful, is there any other reason for not using /64 (that's what we're using) on p2p links?

I wouldn't describe it as wastwful, every subnet is per standard /64 anyway. The primary reason are security concerns like the fact that you might be able to trick a machine into sending loads of ND messages (or responses), filling up the neighbor cache or CAM table. Marco
