Hence my mention of thinking it was a "sin" to subnet on the bit boundary in v6... again, I will do my best to never go back to bit boundary subnetting math in my v6 deployment. Actually, you folks are giving me bad flashbacks to my ATM H-PNNI days of pnni peer group nsap address subnetting. Oh h

Hi Oliver, et al, I recall from when I attended an ARIN on the Road meeting in Austin last year ( https://www.arin.net/ontheroad/ ), that the folks at ARIN seemed to be open to discussing with you about getting the right size address space into your hands for what you needed to accomplishwit

Radu, Are you assuming that a goal of IPv6 is to efficiently fill subsets? I submit that it is not. There are advantages to sparse address spaces, among them easy mapping of MAC addresses for transition purposes and the security that discourages malefactors from quickly enumerating active devic

Oliver, I’ll mostly second what Bill has said here. However, I encourage you to actually consider a /48 per guest room as well as a /48 per hotel for the hotel itself. Yes, this is excessive, but IPv6 was designed with these types of excesses in mind. We don’t yet know the scope and breadth of

Thanks, Jima. I'll review the slides. Without complicating the issue, we're trying to address a number of challenges at the same time. There's no regional backhauling at this time. Each site will be reachable via the internal network but will also independently announce it's assignment to its ISP(
