How can one get a conforming ipv6/64 address assigned to ones network?
I was able to successfully pull a ipv6 address , concurrently with a ipv4, as stated in the previous marketing 'a dual stack' the connectivity works acceptably, with more dropped ipv6 packets than ipv4.
Here is the Problem, the address pulled was a x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x/128 'a subnet for a point to point link' the standards body for ipv6 deployment calls for a /64 subnet to every device.. I would be happy with only a single /64 subnet for my whole network which would let me eliminate NAT.
I called into support and was escalated to level 2. the level 2 rep, both of them.. were courteous, but could not answer why I was not being assigned a ipv6/64 address. both also were unable to refer me to another branch of the company 'because of some corporate policy most likely'. So i came here.
To reiterate, how can i get a conforming ipv6/64 address assigned to my network? If I cannot why is ipv6 now being marketed as available when only a subset of ipv6 features are instead.
I would be grateful to any person who could answer my questions, or point me to the correct person or department that I might speak with about this. Im perfectly happy going with snail mail correspondence on this issue as well. thanks

Solved I Disabled systemd-networkd, and used dhcpcdv6 to pull the configuration with
'sudo dhclient -6 enp3s0'
And it pulled the full configuration along with the routable block. while I am not sure why systemd-networkd did not pull it. I was being given the wrong impression from my software.

IPv6 works by assigning /128 to the WAN and a /64 to the LAN.
What are you using for hardware and how is it configured? IPv6 should be live in all markets, all D3 devices. Perhaps this thread will help you.
