RIPE just has a rule about only having ISPs hand out those /64s there is nothing to prevent someone internally to then split that /64 into smaller chunks to hand out to internal clients. Thats the would point of a subnet!
- DaiPlusPlus 6y agoI'm not sure if that's well-supported by IPv6 though. Documents I've read do agree that it's possible to have smaller subnets in IPv6 (e.g. https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/network/ipv6/subnets.htm https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/network/ipv6/subn... and https://serverfault.com/questions/426183/how-does-ipv6-subnetting-work-and-how-does-it-differ-from-ipv4-subnetting https://serverfault.com/questions/426183/how-does-ipv6-subne... ) but that the pain and hassle required to do-so isn't worth it.
