[Babel-users] [homenet] stupid babel tricks: routing ipv6 while keeping nat

[Emmanuel Baccelli]

Hi Lorenzo,
I'm not sure I fully grasp all the details of the debate about Babel here,
but here is an RFC recommending /128 are the way to go on similar "links".
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5889
And if you want to read more about why these recommendations came about,
read this:

Best,
Emmanuel
