Please excuse my ignorance here, as I am unfamiliar with networking. Can you explain why /64 is the correct prefix length? I am confused because it seems not analogous to IPv4. In the IPv4 example, my address is 104.167.241.211, the gateway is 104.167.241.193, and the subnet mask 255.255.255.192. The network length then is /26. I don't control the entire /26 subnet, only one single IPv4 address within it, but my network would have a prefix length of /26. Isn't using a prefix length of /48 the same in the case of IPv6? I don't control the entire /48, but the gateway 2602:fccf:400::1 shares the first 48 network bits with my IPv6 address 2602:fccf:400:41:: If I were to set the routing prefix length to 64, then I could manually add an extra route to the IPv6 gateway. But then, wouldn't I want to set my IPv4 address with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.255, so that the network length would be 32 rather than 26, and also add a manual route there? -- jrmu IRCNow (https://ircnow.org)
