[ppml] Policy Proposal 2005-8: Proposal to amend ARIN IPv6 assignment and utilisation requirement - Last Call

[Owen DeLong]

I believe it is not hardwired in the protocol, but, for any given subnet, 
there
are a number of features that are not usable if the subnet does not conform 
to
the /64 rule.  I do not believe, for example, that point to point links are
required to have a /64 dedicated to them.  I believe the average provider
could number all of their point to point links out of a single /64 broken
into /124 or similar size chunks.
