There is a lot of talk about "buggy" systems that are unable to handle prefixes longer than 64; but I've yet to encounter one. I imagine if I did it would be treated as a bug and fixed. So to the question of supporting different prefix lengths: Yes. You should support any valid IPv6 prefix length; it takes a few extra lines of code in the beginning; but will save you a lot of re-coding in the end.
Exactly. /126's for point-to-points, and /112's for router LAN's here, 6 years and counting. Mark.
