I thought the only allowed subnet prefix lengths for IPv6 were /64 and
/127. RFC 4291 states:
For all unicast addresses, except those that start with the binary
value 000, Interface IDs are required to be 64 bits long and to be
constructed in Modified EUI-64 format.
(and addresses starting with 000 are only used for special things,
like the localhost address ::1). And then RFC 6164 adds /127 to
the allowed prefix lengths.
I know that many devices allow you to configure any subnet size,
but is there any RFC allowing you to use e.g. /124 or /126?
