IPv6 addresses are 128 bits long as opposed to the 32 bits used by the current IPv4 addresses. The main benefit of this is that it provides __LOTS__ more addresses.
Some common prefixes:
+* ::FFFF:_aabb_:_ccdd_ -- Used for IPv4 addresses (_a.b.c.d_)
+* 2000::/3 -- addresses with GlobalScope
+* 2002::/16 -- (subset of global addresses) This is used by [6to4]
* 3FFE:831F::/32 -- This is used by [Teredo]
-* 2002
::/16
-- This is used by
[6to4
]
+* FC00
::/7
-- [ULA
]
* FE80::/64 -- LinkLocal
* FEC0::/48 -- SiteLocal (deprecated)
-* FC00::/7 -- [ULA]
-* ::FFFF:aabb:ccdd -- Used for IPv4 addresses (a.b.c.d)
!!Notation
The preferred form for writing IPv6 addresses is x:x:x:x:x:x:x:x where each x represents the hexadecimal values of 16 bits of the address. Examples:
