IPv6's vastly larger address space changes how blocks get allocated and used, with real consequences for how precisely an IPv6 address can be geolocated.

Every endpoint now treats an IPv6 address exactly like an IPv4 one, from lookups and quota counting to the free allowance shared across a network.
