IPv6 Resources on ipSpace.net

As expected, ARIN wasn’t that far behind APNIC and RIPE in IPv4 allocations and is now down to the last /8. Maybe it’s time for the last denialists to wake up and start considering IPv6 (or not – consultants love panicking customers)… and the new IPv6 resources page on ipSpace.net might help you get IPv6-fluent (hint: don’t miss the must-read documents section).

    I have a question as to why /64 is the boundary for VLSM that breaks critical functions such as RA, ND, SEND etc. For a home network, a /48 is a RIDICULOUS amount of addresses to have at your disposal. Why can I not make a couple of /120 networks in ULA space, have DHCP servers that can work with /120, and then get a PD DHCP from my carrier and let it autoconfig the GUA space for my hosts?

    It doesn't make much sense to me.

      The /64 boundary has special meaning only for SLAAC, everything else works on any subnet mask.

      As for /48 being ridiculous and a few other things, I totally agree with you, but the arguments have turned into religion years ago - just join any major IPv6 mailing list (v6ops comes to mind) and enjoy the show.
