Hi all,
Just (mostly) out of personal curiousity - is anyone here running any PtP links using 31 bit prefixes rather than the /30's we're all happy with?
If you go "huh?" take a look at rfc3021 - "Using 31-Bit Prefixes on IPv4 Point-to-Point Links"
Summarising the few private replies I've had: * a few people did reply saying that they're using it successfully * someone reported that it worked successfully on 12000 and some 7500 series routers, running a 12.0S train IOS * someone else reported that any IOS train that has been eligible to receive "new features" in the last 9 months will have /31 bit PtP support * I can add that vendor N's broadband concentrator doesn't allow you to add a /31 (they actually let you assign up to /30, then /32 to an interface :) I hope this is of some interest to the list members. If anyone is running /31's on PtP links on vendor J's equipment, I'd like to hear from you.
