IPv6 addresses are more plentiful. However, you don't assign reputation to an individual IPv6 address but rather to an IPv6 network prefix (a /64, or even /60).

IPv6 addresses are more plentiful. However, you don't assign reputation to an individual IPv6 address but rather to an IPv6 network prefix (a /64, or even /60). That gives roughly the same granularity as a single public IPv4 address: one ISP subscriber.
- onphonenow 4y agoFalse, the cost of a prefix is MUCH MUCH lower if you are looking to spam via ipv6. Total prefixes are 18,446,744,073,709,551,615
- nybble41 4y agoNaturally there are far more IPv6 /60s than IPv4 /32s. As a spammer, though, you don't get to pick just any /60 prefix you want—it has to be allocated to you.
