IPv6 Address Planning

[Cody Lerum]

The idea was to stay on a boundary for ease of subnetting, as well as
provide aggregation via /112's within /80's.

/64's are possible, but will require burning a /48 for each Distribution
site, and I was trying to reserve /48 level assignments for downstream
organizations. While also only utilizing a /48 for my organization.

Seemed to make sense to me, but this is my first run at a v6 addressing
plan.

Hi,

> Within these /80's are individual /112's for PTP links.

Why use a /112 for point-to-point links? The only reference I can find
is rfc3627, and that one does not really seem to advise to use a /112
except when using a /64 is not possible... So I am curious about why a
/112 is used.

Thanks,
Sander.
