I figured that, and thats why I don't trust non-network ops opinions 
other than just that...opinions.

However, for some reason, I will personally hold a grudge against myself 
if I do not complete a mailing list thread I started with an absolute 
conclusion, I have spent the last while(X) perusing the web (and 
testing) for solid documentation/solution for how to perform a simple:

# ifconfig em8 inet6 2607:f118::ffff:5 prefixlen 64
# route add -inet6 default 2607:f118::1

...and due to my lack of experience with the Windows "Command Line", am 
having a *very* difficult time finding an authoritative solution.
