Hi Bill,

One thing that comes to mind is that it seems that some routers only =
have limited space in their routing tables for prefixes longer than a =
/64. If you would configure a /127 on the link but push the /64 to the =
routing table then you might both avoid ND Cache exhaustion and avoid =
the limitations on longer-than-/64 prefixes.

I personally prefer to set up my addressing plan that things like this =
are possible even if I don't do it today, but I also understand the =
choices you make. I don't think any of the choices is wrong. It mostly =
depends on expectations, used equipment and personal preference.

And thanks for mentioning "Minimum assignment to a customer: /60". That =
is indeed a very important one!

Cheers,
Sander
