RE: Using IPv6 with prefixes shorter than a /64 on a LAN

If you're on a DoD classified network that spans multiple facilities (as
a contractor we only get access to certain ones, and only certain hosts
are allowed to access them).  Self contained networks are our problem.

Our classified networks aren't ever going to be connected to anything

facilities with hundreds of machines, but none of them are going to be
talking to a router or anything upstream, as neither of those exist on
said networks.


Correct me if I am wrong, but won't Classified networks will get their
addresses IAW the DoD IPv6 Addressing Plan (using globals)?
