[afripv6-discuss] IPv6 netmask on multi-access network segments

[Warwick Duncan]

Hi

Thanks all for the responses, it looks like the general idea of
assigning a /64 per network segment has no opposition.  The configured
netmask appears to be a matter of taste so I reckon I'll stick with the
/120 I chose at the start, until something emerges as a best practice.

Regards
Warwick
