IPv6 Address Notation

Since the IPv6 address is 128-bit and extremely long, this address is displayed using "xxxx", which describes 16-bit in hexadecimals as being one block that is separated by colons (":").

xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx

   •  The current setting is displayed with 0 - ffff (hexadecimal, "a" - "f" are lowercase letters)

   •  Up to 128-bit

   •  The first 64-bit (prefix) of the link local address is fixed to "fe80::"

The following three abbreviation methods are available for IPv6 addresses:

(1) Omission of the first "0" of a block that follows consecutive zeros.

[Example] 2001:1000:0120:0000:0000:0123:0000:0000

      ↓

      2001:1000:120:0000:0000:123:0000:0000

(2) Replacement of "0000" blocks with "0".

[Example] 2001:1000:120:0000:0000:123:0000:0000

      ↓

      2001:1000:120:0:0:123:0:0

(3) Replacement of a block with consecutive zeros by "::" is performed only once.

[Example] 2001:1000:120:0:0:123:0:0

      ↓

      2001:1000:120::123:0:0 is OK

      2001:1000:120::123:: is not allowed (Replacement of a block with consecutive zeros by "::" is allowed only once.)
