How to enable routing for /56 ?¶

Currently each IPv4 delivered by tetaneutral.net is matched by a /56 IPv6 (mapping /24 = 256 IPv4 <=> /48 = 256 /56 IPv6).

As tetaneutral.net is a simple flat ethernet network, all machines are on the same broadcast domain. In order to route /56s we must :
- Assign interconexion subnets. Current recommendation is to provide /112s matched to (but outside) of the corresponding /56
- Add a local static route for this subnet to h3 and gw (admin required)
