  What does that mean?

  No.  Read the "dialup.conf" file.  The only references to "IP" is in
"NAS-IP-Address".

  The standard RADIUS attributes count *packets* and *bytes*.  They
don't distinguish between IPv4 or IPv6.  They count both.

  There is no way in RADIUS to count only IPv6 traffic.

  If you want to receive IPv6 traffic, yes.

  If you want to receive IPv4 RADIUS traffic containing IPv6 attributes, no.
