This is now so common, I expect the common software to adjust soon. You can still subnet below /64 with some patching or a more complex config. Software will match reality it exists in - we already did that for classless ipv4 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classless_Inter-Domain_Routing https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classless_Inter-Domain_Routi...
- CorrectHorseBat 3y agoWhy though? Classless ipv4 solves a real problem, handing out /64's not
- wongarsu 3y agoIs not subnetting /64 solving a real problem? Obviously we couldn't subnet it back when we derived the last 64 bits from the MAC address. But since then everyone decided that's a bad idea, so why not use the address space?
- viraptor 3y agoIt's the other way around. Handing out /64 is the problem, but you and I can't solve it - that's the ISPs stupid decision. People will continue solving this by making smaller subnets and I believe this will become an official solution in the future, because smaller subnets solve a real (even if artificially created) problem.
