While entirely possible, I actually view it going the other way. RFC 3627 points out some nice issues as far as DAD and anycast operation is concerned, but what I'd see (just my random opinion as I haven't bothered to write an RFC) is that it would make entirely much more sense to come up with a structure to STOP the anycast performance on a link that is point-to-point. While there are 340 undecillion addresses, that doesn't mean we need to waste a /64 on a link that will possibly only have two addresses anyway. My two cents. Scott eric clark wrote:
So far, I have only dabbled with IPv6, but my reading of the RFCs is that VLSM for lengths beyond /64 is not required. Subsequently, to use anything longer is an enormous gamble in an enterprise environment. I envision upgrading code one day and finding that your /127 isn't supported any more and they forgot to mention it. I'll stick to /64, though it does seem a horrible waste of space. Someone else might have read the RFC differently though. Eric Clark
