The peer's address is only shown with a netmask of /128 because setting a destination address on an ifa only works with a netmask of /128. This is enforced in in6_update_ifa() for reasons unknown to me. When I fixed IPv6CP in if_spppsubr.c in 2013 I ran into this problem but did not dare changing netinet6 code. Thus sppp_update_ip6_addr() does not set a dest address unless the netmask is 128 which avoids an error it would otherwise get from netinet6 code. We may want to revisit this. It may be wise to bring a lantern and a pickaxe. Perhaps some food and a blanket, too, and some elixirs to replenish life points.
