 You have to remember that in IPv6 address notation we are using
hexadecimal numbers.

12(hex) = 010010(bin)
25(hex) = 100101(bin)

So as you can see there is no common bits in this two numbers, so prefix
length would be 64-6, which is /58.

Subject: IPV6 Address Summarization

Hi Guys,

Please could someone help out a guy here:

I need to summarize these two IPV6 addresses:
2001:141:1:12::/64
2001:141:1:25::/64

I have done it many times over, and what I find to be the summarized
address is:
2001:141:1::/59

However, an excercise I am doing here says is
2001:141:1::/58

Please can someone confirm if I am right or wrong here?

Thanks!!

Sadiq
