Hello Bj”rn,

I don't see why that would be a restriction. The subnet is 64 bits. Dividing 
the host part of the address in four 16 bits parts is just a notation 
convention. Having the lower 16 bit set to zero is no different from having the 
lower 8 bits or the lower 18 bits set to zero. Or just the last bit.

As long as you do not set all the lower 64 bits to zero...

Just try it when you have IPv6 back...


Cheers, Michiel
