no, snorkeling.  eat your heart out, cold weather boy!

don't be silly.  given the stupid political decision not to use
variable length addressing, we need to be reasonably prudent.

for p2p links, many of us use /126s.

assign the customer the space they actually need.  throw in one
extra bit for insurance, two if you feel profligate.  but not
a /48.

discuss getting rid of the /64 silliness.  remember tlas?  at
least they're gone.

yes, this is the "ipv4 mindset."  but, after all, the v6
so-called architects only gave us ipv4 second system syndrome,
no scalable routing, no extensible addressing, no loc/id sep,

we've gone from a limit of 640k of ram to 1gb.  big whoopiedoo.
in ten years, we'll wish that was 1tb.
