Re: 31-Bit IPv4 Prefixes



On Fri, Jul 27, 2007 at 04:34:26PM +0100 I heard the voice of
Lee Johnston, and lo! it spake thus:

We've just been allocated a /31 for a point-to-point over ethernet.
Any idea if FreeBSD supports 31-bit prefixes as per RFC 3021?

I don't think it does (but that's not positive knowledge). You can
probably faking it by assigning the address as a /32, then manually
adding a static route through that interface to the other address.
