er.. would this be a poor characterization of the IPv6 addressing architecture which is encouraged by the IETF and the various RIR members?
class A == /32 class B == /48 class C == /56 hostroute == /64
It's quite arbitrary though, unlike the old classful IPv4 divisions - a matter of policy, not technology. The allocation sizes can and do vary over both time (as policy changes, IIRC RIPE used to assign /35s iirc, now it's /32) and between different RIRs. A hostroute is /128 btw. ;) regards, -- Paul Jakma paul@clubi.ie paul@jakma.org Key ID: 64A2FF6A Fortune: QOTD: "Every morning I read the obituaries; if my name's not there, I go to work."
