How many Ip addresses does a /64 contain?
2^(128-64), or 1.84467441 x 10^19 or thereabouts
over nine thousand
To put it another way, every /64 is big enough to hold the entire 32 bit IPv4 internet 4 billion times over
lol "over nine thousand"
qbit_, haha yea that was hilarious
quote filed that one
qbit_: well, it's true :P
aye
way true
whats the ipv6 equivalent to /24 in ipv4 when it comes to BGP sessions, Whats the smallest prefix that will be in the routing table?
Or rather smallest address range
... theoretical, or the smallest that's a good idea? :P
you *could* have a /127, but it's actively discouraged.
rfc suggests /64 or /126, iirc
I don't think you could, I think it's pretty strictly /64.
/64 is strongly encouraged, using longer prefixes can/does break things.
