| That still doesn’t really make sense. Why not run SLAAC on one subnet and have a single firewall rule for the whole thing? You’re not running any major servers on an Android phone, so it won’t be anything complex. |

| SLAAC can only run on a subnet that's larger than /64, which they might not have access to. |

| ▲ | db48x a day ago | parent [-] | | Strictly speaking it can and does run on subnets that are exactly /64. Does anyone actually hand out smaller delegations today? | | |
| ▲ | tsimionescu a day ago | parent [-] | | My point is that they might only be getting 1 /64 from their ISP; or getting a /62 or something small, and needing more subnets anyway. In these situations, you may not have an extra /64 to dedicate to SLAAC for certain devices. | | |
| ▲ | db48x a day ago | parent [-] | | Right. I was merely correcting your statement that SLAAC needs more than 64 bits to work with. But my question remains; do any ISPs hand out smaller delegations than a /64? |
