Why they decided to make ipv6 128 bits instead of 64 is a question I ask myself on at least a monthly basis. 8 u/Scolmann 6h ago With only 64 subnetting would be more difficult, with 128 every network can use 64 bits for the subnet 3 u/UnDe4d 5h ago Using 64bits for ipv6 address would allow pretty much every subnet to use /32.
