That's merely convention. I've encountered at least one VPS provider handing out /128's.
- craftkiller 10mo agoIt is more than convention, the /64 is the minimum allocation to support SLAAC. If you're getting less than a /64 you're not getting full support for IPv6.
- fc417fc802 10mo agoWell you're not getting support for SLAAC but I didn't understand that to be a core requirement to qualify as a functional IPv6 implementation. Regardless, my point is that allocations narrower than /64 exist in the wild for better or worse. So do IPv6 NAT implementations for that matter. If you assume either of those things don't exist then you might be in for a surprise.
- Dylan16807 10mo agoWhile a situation like that is really annoying, I bet it's still generally following the rule of one /64 per network. What you're not getting is control over your IPs on that network.
- immibis 10mo agoWhoever is tracking you is happy to block VPS providers so that's a win-win for them.
