if you mean allocating a /127, then... sure.

Neighbor discovery on point to point links could be a problem as is the
poential for looping behavior . There are of course ways other than
allocating a longer prefix to a point to point link to achieve that,=20
e.g. disabling it. among other things You have to disable DAD anyway if
you ever plan to loop them up for testing.

these are detailed in
