I have a /32 assigned from ARIN (2001:4918::/32) I’m looking for some direction/reading list of how to properly configure IPv6. I’ve read to use a /64 for PtP interfaces and I’ve read use a /128 instead. Assign all loopbacks from the same /64, use a different /64 for each loopback. Ect, ect. I’m trying not to light a religious war but what is the current best practice for IPv6 deployment in a service provider network?PS. I’ll be at NANOG69 in DC next month, 1st NANOG for me after 22 years. ☺
At the start, the advice was to configure individual /64 for loopbacks, however latterly its assign a /64 for loopbacks and configure /128 instead.
Stick with a /48 for sites/customers.The best advice is to use nibble boundaries (see: https://www.ripe.net/manage-ips-and-asns/ipv6/ipv6-subnetting-card) hence /52 /56 /60
I also recommend watching this (Tom Coffeen from Infoblox at UKNOF35 which covers this exact subject):

Its worth a watch and covers the basics HTH Chris
