If a single machine gets /64 and you rate limit by /64, what doesn't work?

>Linode and others that do /64 for a whole data center

That's how it's supposed to work.

According to who?

It could fit best practices if your datacenter has one tenant and they want to put the entire thing on a single subnet? In general I would expect a datacenter to get something like a /48 minimum. Even home connections are supposed to get more than /64 allocated.

And Linode's default setup only gives each server a single /128. That's not how it's supposed to work. But you can request /64 or /56.
