IPv6 "Subnetting" Document

[Brian E Carpenter]

George,

Why is it any different (in principle) from subnetting an IPv4 site using
variable length subnet masks? Under a /48 prefix you have 16 bits to use
as you wish for subnet structure. My advice would be to be conservative
with the bits - i.e. go for a flat rather than a hierarchical
allocation model. I've switched this to the 6bone list where
you will find the most experienced deployers.
