Out of curiosity who is conducting this class and what was their rationale for using /127s?
It's a GK class. The instructor seems to be fairly knowledgeable and has a lengthy history consulting on and deploying IPv6. The class seems to be geared much more towards enterprise though instead of service providers. That's very unfortunate considering that every one of the 15 people in this class either works for or contracts to a SP. Still the instructor has some SP knowledge so he fills in the blanks when possible. We're all thinking like SPs though and we ask the SP-oriented questions which usually helps us steer the course the direction we want. I wish GK and other training companies would start offering classes geared towards SPs. They could easily take the existing courseware, add a couple days at the end and interject useful SP info into the earlier days. All that extra info could be specifically aimed at SPs.
He didn't really give much of a reason for the /127s yet. I think it's coming up in a later session. I think it basically boiled down to whether or not the customer would actually use anything bigger. I'll write back when we get into that discussion.
