Unless you are running as an SLA, I doubt it.

Edit: I'll email her your questions.

A /64 in IPv6 is a prefix length. A single IPv6 address is 128bits in length. So /64 is half of that. Commonly end sites or host on the LAN are handed /64, and the remaining half is taken from the host MAC address. Joining them together get's you a single IPv6 address (128bits).

This is where SLAAC comes in, as it autoconfigures the host address by combining the /64 prefix length and host MAC address. No user intervention required, hence Stateless Auto Address Configuration (SLAAC).

You can also think of a /64 as a /24 class C in IPv4-land.

Hope this helps :>

An IPv6 /64 prefix equals an IPv4 /32 in functionality, more like it.

Not quite.

A /64 prefix will yield 1 x IPv6 subnet, but it can host 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 IPv6 addresses
For the typical home scenario with one gateway/RG/AP, that one subnet and 2^64 hosts is good enough.
And since there is no concept of NAT in IPv6, all 2^64 hosts are globally routed.

/56 will give you 2^8 IPv6 subnets. For those inclined in having several subnets around the house.
IIANM, TM gives /56 for their biz packages.

So complicated..see also pening lol...that is meant for network security ppl or ppl involve in network design software engineers..



This 1 abit simpler rite ?

Btw, today I checked and I think my area(Subang Jaya) is covered already. Tried yesterday but nothing.

I disconnected/reconnected my connection and I can see v6 addresses.

With only a /64, you can only have one router in the network. Which is no different really than having only one dynamic publicly-routed IPv4 address. Subnetting is made harder because of this.

The fine difference is one router, one subnet, but many publicly routed addresses VS one router, one subnet, one public address, and the rest behind NAT.

As i mentioned earlier, those inclined to subnet their home network further (the kitchen, room#1, room#2, room#3, wired, wireless for example) would definitely want more than a /64.

To anyone else wondering, a /64 is the smallest subnet allowable in IPv6. So a /64 will only give you one "network", whereas a /56 for example will give you 256 x /64 subnets. To which you can configure to your needs (routes/firewall rules/ACLs etc).

/64 ought to be enough for anybody.

Have a question about QoS on our router side, it applies for IPv4 connections but does it do the same for IPv6? They are different right?

for the record, i'm merely leasing.

Anyway for those who are wondering how IPV6 vs IPV4 in World of Warcraft. The difference is day and light

I am getting constant 180-190ms with IPV6 and it will be around 250-330ms with IPV4

Sounda like good news for gamers..
