11. IPv6 Address Notation

IPv6 Address consists of 8 groups of 4 hexadecimal digits, separated by colons. For example,

    2001:cdba:0000:0000:0000:0000:3257:9652
    2001:cdba:0:0:0:0:3257:9652
    2001:cdba::3257:9652

Any four-digit group of zeroes can be reduced to a single zero, or altogether omitted.

The URL for the above address is written as

    http://[2001:cdba:0000:0000:0000:0000:3257:9652]/
