OK, for IPv4, only 1 IP is restricted. But for IPv6, the minimum granularity should be a 64-bit range (for IPv6 addresses assigned to customers) and possibly smaller only for IPv6/IPv4 tunnels (like those initiated through Teredo and 6to4 servers, unless you restrict them like the proxies they really are)
