Hi Dan, I've got some slides from talks I've done, they cover this sortof stuff. You can see at http://www.sixlabs.org/talks/ Additionally, the size is 2^(128-prefixlen) [more or less] But you don't use all of them, obviously, it'd be fairly difficult, best part about a /64 is EUI-64 works (auto-address allocation based on MAC address) if you advertise it with radvd [or rtadvd if your freebsd, no idea about other oss, radvd seems to work in most places] Cheers, Trent Bur.st On Fri, Nov 19, 2004 at 03:06:43AM -0500, Dan Mahoney, System Admin wrote:
In preparation for the upcoming advent of ipv6, I'm playing with a tunnel I've gotten from HE's cool tunnelbroker, and I'm plagued by the question that about an hour of google searching can't answer for me. I'm having trouble wrapping my head around ipv6 style suffixes -- does anyone have a chart handy? How big is a /64, specifically? Most of the tutorials I've found seem to be a bit over-the-top on this. -Dan -- <Wrin> quick, somebody tell me the moon phase please? <Dan_Wood> Wrin: Plummeting. -Undernet #reboot, 9/11/01 (day of the WTC bombing) --------Dan Mahoney-------- Techie, Sysadmin, WebGeek Gushi on efnet/undernet IRC ICQ: 13735144 AIM: LarpGM Site: http://www.gushi.org ---------------------------
