sorry for too much cross-posting. I think the following part in the
APNIC text is slightly unclear.
>These are:
>1) /64 for single devices (such as mobile phones), /48 for all other sites
>2) /64 for single devices, /48 for large end sites which need more
> than 256 subnets, and /56 for other sites (eg small, domestic/home sites)
Does /64 mean "address behind the device", or "address for the ppp
link"?
(1) (2)
ISP router ISP router
|link local only |link local and global
| | <--- /64 is here
|link local only |link local and global
customer router customer device
|link local and global
==+=== <--- /64 is here
Note that it is legal and possible to run routing protocol on
diagram (1). All of IPv6 routing protocol is written this way
(and static routing is possible too).
