Explain the shortcut you may to use in IPv6 address notation that involves the use of colons.

What will be an ideal response?


IPv6 uses a colon as a separator between each group of hexadecimal numbers that range between 0000 and FFFF in an IPv6 address. To write IPv6 addresses containing strings of zeroes, you can use a pair of colons (::) to represent a string of consecutive groups with a value of zero. For example, using the :: rule, you can write the IPv6 address 2001:0:0:3210:800:200C:CF:1234 as 2001::3210:800:200C:CF:1234. Double colons are very handy, but you have to be careful when you use them. Only one :: is allowed per single IPv6 address.
