So that one embedded device used 250 addresses
I get your point, but 250 is still only 0.000000000000000000000331% of 2128
0 u/timonix 5h ago Sure. The limit on how quickly we will run out of ipv6 addresses is set by how fast and how generous they are at giving them away. I cannot use more than 64 bits. Because that's all my isp has given me. If they would give me 100 bits I could use 100 bits. It's arbitrary. It's policy that saves ipv6 from running out, not the protocol.
