Hierarchical allocation of fixed-length subnets requires
coordination between lower / intermediate / upper network

allocation allowed the top of the hierarchy will accomodate
present and future use cases with fixed lenth subnet allocation.
Coordination with upstream networks across administrative domains
for the allocation of fixed length subnets reveals topology and

On the other hand, we assume that a number of IPv6 implementations
fail to enforce limits on the size of some of the data structures
they employ for communicating with neighboring nodes, such as the
Neighbor Cache. In such cases, the use of smaller subnets forces an
operational limit on such data structures, thus helping mitigate some
pathological behaviors (such as Neighbor Cache Exhaustion attacks).
