So this is not "ip based billing"?

And how exactly does this protect against customer A bluntly using 
IPv6 addresses that belong to customer B, but are carried in the same
layer 2 segment?

(private VLANs + static MAC assignment + port security + static ND 
+ L3 ACLs on L2 switch port can fix this to some extent, but it's 
messy)
