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       --- GoldED+/W32-MSVC 1.1.5-b20170303        * Origin: he.net certified sage (2:280/5555)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/0 19/10 30/0 80/1 90/1 105/81 106/201 120/340 123/131       SEEN-BY: 153/7715 154/10 203/0 221/0 1 6 226/30 229/110 424 426 428       SEEN-BY: 229/550 664 700 240/1120 5832 249/206 317 400 250/1 266/512       SEEN-BY: 280/464 5003 5006 5555 282/464 1038 301/0 1 101 113 812 310/31       SEEN-BY: 317/3 320/219 322/757 342/200 396/45 460/58 633/280 640/1384       SEEN-BY: 712/848 920/1 2452/250 5019/40 5020/545 1042 12000 5053/58       SEEN-BY: 5058/104       PATH: 280/5555 301/1 229/426           |
