Summary
All private IPv6 layouts now use a 32-bit tenant ID and a 16-bit VM or peer number on hextet boundaries. VM numbers count per tenant, so the numbers stay small and the router can map every tenant.
Why
One global VM counter made VM numbers grow for every tenant. The IPv6 router could map only 24-bit tenant IDs and 20-bit VM numbers. Aligned fields with zero padding keep the addresses readable and leave space for later fields.
What changed
vm-<tenant ID>-<number>, with one counter for each tenant. A tenant has VM numbers from 1 to 65,535.fdaa : region : tenant 32 : padding 48 : VM 16. Existing addresses do not change.block : tenant 32 : VM 16. A block must be/80or shorter.fdac : region : node : tenant 32 : padding 32 : peer 16. A peer number is from 1 to 65,535.Related issues
