In the past I've always used /30's for PTP connection subnets out of old

switching to /31's in order to stretch my IPv4 space further. Has anyone 
else does this? Good? Bad? Based on the bit of testing I've done this 
shouldn't be a problem since it's only between routers.

rfc3021 is over 9 years old, so should be no suprise that it works 
well.  :-)
