!Special Addresses
Just like IPv4 has special addresses for thinks like loopback, network and broadcast so does IPv6.
-;
__::1__ :
the loopback address, used to talk to the local computer. (:__ :1/128, opposed to [IPv4]'s 127/8)
-;
__::__ :
the unspecified addresses, used for things such as address discovery when the computer does not yet have an address. Should not ever be used as a destination address.
