In practice, I've seen both: /30 and /31. Wikipedia [1] quotes RFC3021,
which states /31 for that case:

  "As a special case, a /31 network has capacity for just two hosts.
   These networks are typically used for point-to-point connections.
   There is no network identifier or broadcast address for these
   networks"

Cheers
