LLLLOOOOOOLLLLL 


A 100 gallon fuel tank is fine for most forms of transportation most people think of. For some reason we built IPv6 like a fighter jet requiring everyone have 10,000 gallon fuel tanks... for what purpose remains to be seen, if ever.

I have a single CPE router and 3 /64's in use. One for each of the 
wireless SSID's and one for the wired network. This is the default 
for homenet devices. A single /64 means you have to bridge all the 
traffic. 

A single /64 has never been enough and it is time to grind that 
myth into the ground. ISP's that say a single /64 is enough are 
clueless.
