that's the network size, and you are mixing sizes for IPv4 and IPv6.
A /8 block includes 16,777,214 IPv4 addresses. A /24 block contains 256 IPv4 addresses.....
A /64 IPv6 block includes 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 IPv6 addresses.
This is why we provide each of our VPS customers with 100 IPv6 addresses
@ElixantTechnology THX!!!!!
You should provide a /64 at least, a /56 preffered, /48 best case.
Sure, I know what I should be providing, however until such a time we deem it appropriate to get an IPv6 assignment from ARIN for VPSs, we will continue to offer smaller allocations on our low-cost OpenVZ instances and continue to offer /64s to our Dedicated customers.
You upstream SHOULD give you a /56 (AT LEAST) or a /48, else your dc is on the sucking side.
would be better if those were beers
With all due respect, but this just shows you don't understand IPv6.
IPv6 Prefix lenght from /128 to /20
IPv4 subnet sizes from /32 to /8:

Pretty impressive numbers eh?
to ipv6 purists: yeah, I know... nibbles, yaddi yadda...
And what are you doing with the remaining ones out of the /64 block? Or are you splitting a /64 block (the most sensible "ban" unit for IPv6) over all your customers?
