IPv6 Subscriber Access Deployments

Sure, but in that latter case, it is not link-local only.

It doesn’t matter where the /n (where n is (preferably) a member of {64, 126, 127}) for the point-to-point link is issued, so long as there is a GUA on the link.

Like MPLS or asymmetric routing...

Noone wants unnecessarily confused employees or customers, but I don't
think confusing traceroute output comes very high on the network design
criteria list these days :slight_smile:

Whether the savings are useless depends on how you count the cost.
Address space savings are of course pointless, but managing address
allocations does have a cost. It doesn't have to be high, but it is a
cost you have to consider.

FWIW, we decided to go with an IA_NA based WAN GUA for CPE management
purposes - we needed a management address and didn't want to steal from
the customers IA_PD prefix.
