Well, just a datapoint: I do basicly 4. I have 128 bits or less of interface id. (128 - prefixlen) bits from the least significant part of the interface id is copied into real address (and rest is ignored). I could as well have prefixlen < 64. Makes no difference. However, I would really prefer that all prefixes on the link do use the same prefixlen :-) -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPv6 working group mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Administrative Requests: https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6 --------------------------------------------------------------------
