Hello I think it is necessary to have interconnexion networks using public addresses for debugging routes (ex: traceroute or things like that) so we need to number those networks. a /127 wouldn't be a good idea. It's difficult for a provider to play with prefixes that do not fit with the beginning or the end of a quartil. It's not very simple to deal with the /35 given to providers as well ! So I think that a /64 is a good idea for interconnexion networks.
