Just to add to this, beware the vendor documentation. In particular, I
noticed many "examples" posted by vendors that used all kinds of
notations. Cisco, for example, formally uses /64 in current
documentation but still has a ton of old docs which use /112 or other
similar boundaries. Since searches don't always turn up "most current",
you may find obsolete documentation.
