In that area we also tried to use longer prefixes than /64, but we had difficulties on some devices. There was two kind of problems. Some of devices weren't able properly handle longer prefixes for example in routing protocols. The second group of devices tries to solve processing longer prefixes via software. So we had to gave up of using longer prefixes and now we uses 64-bit prefixes including point to point links (and hope that nothing will happen). But fact is that was 3 years ago, so maybe today the situation is much better. I haven't check for long time.
Interesting. Would you be able to tell us what kit that was, if possible? Also, is this something those vendors can fix in software, or it's a hardware restriction? Mark.
