Subnetting Practices

[Seth Mattinen]

I'm working on a subnetting scheme for my IPv6 deployment and I'm 
curious to what the current best practices regarding IPv6 subnets are. 
For example, if I need a point-to-point link, something I'd normally 
assign a /30 in v4, I see /64 being used as the v6 equivalent. This 
seems kind of wasteful to me, so if anyone out there can clarify why, 
I'd appreciate it.
