IPV6

Would be nice to see NS supporting detection and tracking of IPv6 addresses and maybe move completely from using IPv4 to IPv6 for the IP2C data

While I absolutely agree with IPv6 support for NS, it needs to be throughout the package, wherever checks are made. Can we really get rid of IPv4 though? Isn't there always going to be IPv4 traffic... indefinitely? (Sorry, don't really fully understand all the nuances of this).

IP4 prob isnt going anywhere, but def add support for IP6 in NS

@M I think IPv4 will be around for quite a while yet, though will probably get phased out at some point. For now, there has to be a mechanism to handle both.
I have IPv6 IP2C data but it's not much good without the ability of NS to handle it and act on it.

I could see ip4 getting shifted to local (sorta what the 10.xx and 192.168.xx is now)
