I have heard of /96 and /112 being handed out by small local ISPs around here. I don't know if they're still doing it.
That would break the MAC based addresses, though could be used with DHCP or manual configuration. With MAC based addresses, FFFE is inserted in the middle of the MAC and the 7th bit is toggled. This then forms the lower 64 bits of the 128 bit address. Of course, given the huge address space, why even bother with subnets that small. If only /48 subnets were handed out, there's more that 4000 available for every person on earth. With /64 subnets you'd have over 65000x more. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
