No, I wanted an IPv6 only, but I wasn't sure if Freeradius was
communicating with NAS in IPv6 only packets, or if it was encapsulating
IPv6 attributes (RFC 3162) over IPv4 packets.

I already red the RFC 3162, and I think that was the idea, but I asked to
the list this questions to had sure.
Good, that means that it works with packets in both network protocols,
depending of NAS support.
