We need to store 64 bits unsigned integers into MongoDB for big values and be able to do range filtering and sorting on columns using this type. Concerning IPv6, a IPv6 datatype (128 bits integer for example) would be very nice when IPv6 becomes unavoidable. Thanks. |

While it's not specifically a 64 bit unsigned type, the new decimal floating point support added in 3.4 fully covers the range available to 64 unsigned integers. |

You can use a binary type right now which gives you range scans |
