An IPv6 address has the following format: 2001:0ba0:01e0:d001:0000:0000:d0f0:0010 In converse to the 32 bits making up an IPv4 address, an IPv6 address consists of 128 bits. The IPv6 address is represented by 8 groups; every group consisting of 16 bits. The groups are separated by a “:” and they are represented by 4 hexadecimal ciphers. Every cipher has a value between 0 and 15 (0,1,2, … A, B, C, D, E, F with A=10, B=11, C=12, D=13, E=14, F=15). More information on the IPv6 addressing format can be found in the following documents: http://www.cisco.com/application/pdf/en/us/guest/products/iosswrel/c1127/cdccont_0900aecd8018e369.pdf http://download.microsoft.com/download/e/9/b/e9bd20d3-cc8d-4162-aa60-3aa3abc2b2e9/IPv6.doc http://www.ipv6style.jp/en/tech/20041117/index.
