my initial (and, i guess, current) IPv6 deployment plan was based on /64 subnets. yes, thats a ridiculous amount of hosts per subnet...nasty software coded in 'the old style' might make these very big collision domains and i do worry about how ISC DHCPv6 will handle such large numbers of leases - recalling how it deals with /16's in IPv4 land. however, for router likn-link, non IP-based routing protocols - as mentioned IS-IS or OSPFv3 on the link-layer avoids the legacy issue (and wasting /64's for such trivialities) alan _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
