-To register an IPv6 prefix, you create an `inet6num` object. dn42 uses the fd00::/8 ([ULA](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4193)) range. A single /48 allocation is typical and will likely provide more than enough room for all devices you will ever connect.

dn42 is interconnected with other networks, like icvpn, which also use the same ULA range so a registration in the dn42 registry can't prevent IPv6 conflicts. A fully random prefix (see [RFC4193](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4193)) is recommended; finding a conflict and needing to renumber your network is no fun.

The current guideline is to allocate a /27 or smaller by default, keeping space for up to a /26 if possible. Don't allocate more than a /25 worth of addresses and please **think before you allocate**.

-dn42 typically uses point-to-point addressing in VPN tunnels making transit network unnecessary, a single IP address per host should be sufficient. If you are going to have 2-3 servers, a /28 is plenty; same will go for most home-networks. dn42 is not the public internet, but our IPv4-space is valuable too!

If you need a /24 or larger, please ask in the IRC chan or on the mailing list and expect to provide justification. You should also ensure the range you've requested is in a suitable block.
