FWIW, my test networks have always been configured with /126's, and have never had an issue. With the exception of auto-configuration, I have yet to see any IPv6 gear that cares about prefix length. Configuring a /1 to a /128 seems to work just fine. If anyone knows of gear imposing narrower limits on what can be configured I'd be facinated to know about them.
I am seeing the same here. We mostly use /64 as p2p links in 30071, and also have /127's and /126's and even some /112's with legacy peers. No problems exhibited in all cases. But that still doesn't change the fact that /64 is recommended minimum subnet size. :) Then again IPv6 gives us lot of *subnets* before we even talk about gazillion amount of hosts ;) -J -- James Jun TowardEX Technologies, Inc.
