IPv6 data type

equivalent to ::

equivalent to `::1`

serialise to human readable IPv6

>>> toString (fromString "0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1" :: IPv6)

create an IPv6 from the given tuple

decompose an IPv6 into a tuple

IPv6 Parser as described in RFC4291

for more details: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4291.html#section-2.2

which is exactly:

``` ipv6ParserPreferred | ipv6ParserIPv4Embedded | ipv6ParserCompressed ```

IPv6 parser as described in RFC4291 section 2.2.1

The preferred form is x:x:x:x:x:x:x:x, where the xs are one to four hexadecimal digits of the eight 16-bit pieces of the address.

• `ABCD:EF01:2345:6789:ABCD:EF01:2345:6789`

• `2001:DB8:0:0:8:800:200C:417A`

IPv6 parser as described in RFC4291 section 2.2.2

The use of "::" indicates one or more groups of 16 bits of zeros. The "::" can only appear once in an address. The "::" can also be used to compress leading or trailing zeros in an address.

• `2001:DB8::8:800:200C:417A`

• `FF01::101`

• `::1`

• ::

IPv6 address with embedded IPv4 address

when dealing with a mixed environment of IPv4 and IPv6 nodes is x:x:x:x:x:x:d.d.d.d, where the xs are the hexadecimal values of the six high-order 16-bit pieces of the address, and the ds are the decimal values of the four low-order 8-bit pieces of the address (standard IPv4 representation).

• `0:0:0:0:0:0:13.1.68.3`

• `0:0:0:0:0:FFFF:129.144.52.38`

• `::13.1.68.3`

• `::FFFF:129.144.52.38`
