Hi,
Very nearly ready to start assigning /48s from the BitFolk net block.
At present each VM has a /64 of the form:
2001:ba8:1f1:fxxx::/64
We are going to start assigning /48s to customers from
2a0a:1100:1000::/48 onwards. That means that the first one is
2a0a:1100:1000::/48
and then the next is
2a0a:1100:1001::/48
and they continue to increment like
2a0a:1100:1002::/48
2a0a:1100:1003::/48
2a0a:1100:1004::/48
and so on.
My question is, do you feel there is any value whatsoever in matching
the customer-specific part of an existing customer's /64 assignment with
their new /48 assignment?
For example, if you currently had 2001:ba8:1f1:f1d7::/64 then you could
ALSO have 2a0a:1100:11d7::/48.
Or, we could just assign them incrementally from the bottom up if it's
felt there is no value in that.
Personally I kind of feel like there isn't really any value here. By the
time we have explained how you mentally map from one to the other I
think you could have just looked at
https://panel.bitfolk.com/dns/ and
seen what your new /48 is. I'm not even convinced that there are very
many people who remember the last part of their current /64 off by heart
anyway.
But it was put to me by a non-customer that we "should" do this, so I
thought I would ask! If there's even one person that would like that
then I guess we can do it.
Either way, new customers would just get the first available from the
bottom.
Thanks,
Andy
