Please check the nanog archives. There were some arguments that I and I assume others felt compelling why allocating a /64 per point to point link was a good idea. Your network, your rules. I was just responding to the argument that a /64 is wasteful and serves little purpose. ---- Matthew Huff | 1 Manhattanville Rd Director of Operations | Purchase, NY 10577 OTA Management LLC | Phone: 914-460-4039 aim: matthewbhuff | Fax: 914-694-5669

Hi Matthew,
I'm always interested in learning something new. Please explain the DOS vectors you're referring to and how they're mitigated by allocating a /64 to the point to point link.
Just do it.
No. But if you offer a good reason, I'll factor your reason in to my considerations.
