What will be an ideal response?


Two rules guide the notation of IPv6:
1.      Leading zeros can be skipped within each octet (thus, the address above can be shortened to 12a4:11c:3:ba37:0:0:0:1922).
2.      Consecutive zeros can be replaced with double colons (thus, the address above can be further shortened to 12a4:11c:3:ba37::1922).

IPv6 uses CIDR assignment rather than a new version of class-based assignment. Even though IPv6 has been around since 1981, it is deployed on only an estimated one percent of world networks.
