Hi Oliver,

You can always put 1 and 2 at the end on a /124 as well and add additional
devices. These are the same advantages of /124 over /126. And /124 doesn't
suffer from ND exhaustion attacks like /112 might. The only thing /112 buys
you (that I can see) is a single colon in front of the final digit. I don't
see how /112 would be a good choice.
