[f-nsp] Support for IPv6 127-bit subnet mask on point-to-point networks

[Youssef Bengelloun-Zahr]

Hello,

This is indeed bad news as I am starting IPv6 deployment on our new
backbone :-/

I am not sure a /126 would be a better solution regarding the potential
security threats it raises.

Maybe someone at Brocade is reading this thread and could give us a
feedback on this ? Greg ?!?

Thanks.

Y.
