All of our servers are in binary coded hex. :) That is, if your IPv4
address is 10.12.3.187, your IPv6 address is A:B:C:D::187. The router
is ::1, just as in IPv4, and servers have static routes.
We still use /64's everywhere. You may want to use temporary (privacy)
addresses outbound. You many want to allow a server to use EUI-64 to
get an address while doing an install, or similar.

/128's for loopbacks, anycast addreses, and similar here. Typically out
of a loopback /64.
