Thanks for the clarification.

RFC 6459 says "The 3GPP network allocates each default bearer a
unique /64 prefix" but doesn't seem to explain how that prefix is
conveyed to the UE. It does say that the suggested IID is conveyed
by "layer-2 signaling". If the allocated prefix is only conveyed
by an RA/PIO there is something unconventional going on, i.e. the
UE is allowed to deduce *from the RA* that it owns the entire /64,
which is not all what applies on a conventional LAN. (Yes, I do see
how that enables RFC 7278, but this unconventional semantic is
not all obvious from RFC 6459.)

So if that's right, I think we do have a problem. If we (=IETF+3GPP)
decide to allow <64 prefixes in RA/PIO during the establishment of
a PDP context, that seems to be not only an unconventional use
of RA but also one that directly contravenes the /64 rule in the
addressing architecture.

I'm not against either of those things, but I think some very
explicit wording is needed to explain what's going on and how it
is different from a conventional LAN.
