Re: IPv6 prefixes longer then /64: are they possible in DOCSIS networks?

* Dmitry Cherkasov

I am determining technical requirements to IPv6 provisioning system for DOCSIS networks and I am deciding if it is worth to restrict user to use not less then /64 networks on cable interface. It is obvious that no true economy of IP addresses can be achieved with increasing prefix length above 64 bits.

I am not familiar with DOCSIS networks, but I thought I'd note that in order to comply with the RIPE policies, you must assign at least a /64 or shorter to each end user: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-523#assignment_size -- Tore Anderson Redpill Linpro AS - http://www.redpill-linpro.com
