Wow... thanks for the info ristau & otanx. I was building out my transports with /127's. The more you know.
We are unfortunately being pushed to IPv6. I recently moved to a new company with has been using provider owned IPs since the dawn of man. Obviously getting multiple /24's from ARIN is near impossible right now, but there is a plethora of IPv6. They currently use two full /24's, so we would need atleast 3 /24's to make it work, and I do not see us getting those additional two /24s any time soon.
So we are kind of being pushed to move IPv6 because we were given a /32.
We will be doing /64 networks, like you had mentioned, for all of our internal infrastructure. The good news (I guess) is we have a lot of silo'd (DMZs) so it should make the transition for those smooth (in theory).
Thanks for the info, the recommendations of the books, and the wisdom. Is appreciated.
