These zeros can be further compressed and replaced with double-colon (::) to make IPv6 address notation less cumbersome. The leading zeros can be omitted within each 16-bit hexadecimal block, and written as 0 instead of 0000, 100 instead of 0100 and 10 instead of 0010. IPv6 addresses are represented as eight 16-bit hexadecimal blocks separated by colons (:).Įxample: FEDC:0000:0000:0000:FEDC:E4BF:0100:0010

IPv6 addresses can be associated with one or more interfaces.Version 6 supports varied addressing types (unicast, anycast, multicast, link-local, sitelocal, and global).
