Carl Austin Bennett <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #6 from Carl Austin Bennett <[email protected]> 2011-09-09 00:04:38 UTC --- I'd think that /64 is rather common due to rfc4291 [[IPv6 address#Stateless_address_autoconfiguration]] by which any individual router is given a /64 and the individual clients suffix this with a 64-bit extended MAC address or a random suffix. I've only seen a /128 once; the lowest-level of "anonymous" tunnel on gogo6 acts as a dynamic IP address for one Windows PC and semi-randomly allocates a different /128 from [2001:5c0:1000:a]/64 each time the PC re-connects to the network. Even there, all of their other "tunnel" offerings are at least a ::/64; I believe ::/64 as the smallest allocation is also true of Hurricane Electric. For that matter, my co-lo provider will be offering a ::/64 for my three servers. Oh, drats, that only leaves me with 2^64 - 3 free addresses? What if I run out? If my upstream provider only has [2605:ac00]/32 they might've assigned all four billion ::/64's by the time that happens, then I'm really in trouble! In any case, we should expect many (or even the majority) of blocks to be rangeblocks (with /64 the smallest viable) unless we're dealing with the most casual of vandalism from someone who has no idea how either wiki or IPv6 works. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
