[c-nsp] /31's on Eth p-t-p links instead of /30's

[Spyros Kakaroukas]

Hello,

We've been using /31s wherever we can for quite a while now. Never had any problems with it on cisco ( or any other quality vendor ) routers/switches. The only issue is that, on customer-facing links, there's the occasional customer device that does not support it ( or even worse, lets you configure it and then arps for every destination instead of routing to the other end ). In those cases, we just switch to /30s .

Hi Everyone,

Ive read a few previous (older) posts on this topic, and it seems /31's are used quite a bit (Service Providers etc).

Just trying to conserve IPv4 addresses - Has anyone run into any issues with using /31's? (OSPF/BGP....anything else?)

Cheers.
