question
How can you tell an IPv6 address is valid.
answer
An IPv6 address is a 128-bit address listed as eight 16-bit hexadecimal sections. Leading zeros can be omitted in each section. Therefore, 6384:1319:7700:7631:446A:5511:8940:2552 and 141:0:0:0:15:0:0:1 are both valid IPv6 IP addresses. A single set of all-zero sections can be abbreviated with two colons (::). Therefore, 141::15:0:0:1 would be a valid way of writing that address. Digits in a hexadecimal system range from 0-9 and A-F. H is not a valid hexadecimal number. 343F:1EEE:ACDD:2034:1FF3:5012 is too short, having only six sections instead of eight.
question
