A couple of points for thought:
1. Yes, the IPv6 address space is unimaginably huge. Even so, when every m=
olecule in every soda can in the world has its own IPv6 address in years to=
come, it might not seem so big.
2. A more immediate concern with using things like /64s or whatever on p2p =
links is inadvertently turning routers into sinkholes.
