Definitely 64. It’s half of the total address space.

Yeah, 64 bits for the interface identifier. Makes sense with IPv6.

I’m pretty certain it’s 64 bits for the interface identifier, but I should double-check my notes just to be safe.

I’m a bit confused; I thought it might be 128 bits total, but I think the interface part is 64 bits.

I remember practicing a question like this, and I believe it was also about the 64 bits for the interface identifier.

I think the interface identifier for IPv6 unicast addresses is 64 bits, but I’m not 100% sure.
