Which provider won't give you a /64 (that supports IPv6 at all)? Even my residential cable provider gives me a /60. Anything less seems absurd.

- api 10y agoI've seen smaller ones do /128. Probably just cluelessness. The bigger issue is the need for a secure backplane, which will remain until all server software authenticates all sockets in a strong way.
- jeff_marshall 10y agoI agree re: the secure backplane (though I would prefer to see it done outside server software in a more comprehensive manner). I'm surprised that the bar isn't set a bit higher inside the cloud provider infrastructure for tenant separation at the network level. I suppose it boils down to the lack of assurance at an even lower level (who trusts Xen these days?) that seems unlikely to be fixed in the short term.
