I see, thanks for the information.  But please let me check one
related thing: the man page of ifconfig(8) says:

   13. To create an IPv6 address for prefix AB:CD:CE:AB, enter:
            # ifconfig tu0 inet6 ip6prefix AB:CD:CE:AB::/64

If the prefix lengths are supposed to be static, what does "64" mean
above?  What happens if we specify other values there?  (I don't have
a super user privilege on the target machine, so I cannot check it by
myself.)

Thanks,
