Hi

In reference to the discussion about /31 for router links, I d'like to know what is your experience with IPv6 in this 
regard.

I use a /126 if possible but have also configured one /64 just for the link between two routers. This works great but 
when I think that I'm wasting 2^64 - 2 addresses here it feels plain wrong.

So what do you think? Good? Bad? Ugly? /127 ? ;)

why not just ping your vendors to support this, and perhaps chime in
on v6ops about wanting to do something sane with ptp link addressing?
:)
