What happens if your ISP just gives you a /64?
- ikiris 3y agoWhat happens if the moon is made of cheese? Outside of obscure hypotheticals you make do or switch providers.
- jlokier 3y agoIt's not that obscure. It's common to be given a /64 to a home, or even to small business premises. Some even get a /128. So it's reasonable to wonder how people deal with that problem when needing multiple subnets. Many locations don't have a realistic choice of affordable providers, or none of them provide IPv6 with a shorter prefix anyway.
- GoblinSlayer 3y agoDepends on what you want to do. Maybe use one network or assign static addresses. Here's a post on /120 networks: https://blog.ipspace.net/2011/05/ipv6-neighbor-discovery-exhaustion.html https://blog.ipspace.net/2011/05/ipv6-neighbor-discovery-exh...
- BenjiWiebe 3y agoMy ISP doesn't even give me a /32 v4 or a /128 v6. CGNAT v4 only. I'd love to have to make do with a /64.
- riobard 3y agoMy ISP did exactly that. I bugged their customer support several times over a month and they finally caved and gave me /60 now.
- InfamousRece 3y agoMy ISP gives me /64. It is unusable with consumer routers.
