   Hello Bj”rn,   
      
   On Monday January 10 2022 15:48, you wrote to me:   
      
    MvdV>> Just one /64 would not be satisfactory to me.   
      
    BF>    Doesn't a /64 contain 2^64 addresses? Not enough? The entire IPv4   
    BF> pool is 2^32...   
      
   It is not that 2^64 addresses are not enough for all my devices, it is that a   
   /64 can not be divided into subnets. That is the way it is designed. A /64 is   
   the smallest subnet. I might have designed it different but I was not involved   
   at the time.   
      
   So... if one wants/needs more than one subnet, one needs more than one /64.   
   That is the way it is.   
      
   It should be no problem, there is enough for everyone.   
      
      
   Cheers, Michiel
