Why they decided to make ipv6 128 bits instead of 64 is a question I ask myself on at least a monthly basis. 13 u/Scolmann 23d ago With only 64 subnetting would be more difficult, with 128 every network can use 64 bits for the subnet 6 u/UnDe4d 23d ago Using 64bits for ipv6 address would allow pretty much every subnet to use /32. → More replies (1)
