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_)
+* ::_aabb_:_ccdd_ -- Used for IPv4 addresses (_a.b.c.d_) (obsolete)
+
* ::FFFF:_aabb_:_ccdd_ -- Used for IPv4 addresses (_a.b.c.d_) as per RFC:4038
* 2000::/3 -- addresses with GlobalScope
* 2002::/16 -- (subset of global addresses) This is used by [6to4]
* 3FFE:831F::/32 -- This is used by [Teredo]
* FC00::/7 -- [ULA]
