Hello Kees,

Good point. I was only looking at my own situation. My bad. The modem/router combo that I am presently testing has no visible way to enable more than the first /64 of the /56 that I am assigned by my ISP. I had already noted that down as a minus point, but hadn't thought beyond that.

Same here. If I get assigned a /56, I want to be able to use all of it the way I want.


Cheers, Michiel
