I want some clarification on ip(v6) address representation.
How do we treat the following addresses? Are they valid or
otherwise?
1:2:3:4:5:6::7:8
::1:2:3:4:5:6:7:8
0:0:0:0:0:0:1.2.3.4
0::0:0:0:0:0:1.2.3.4
0:0:0:0:0:ffff:1.2.3.4
0::0:0:0:0:ffff:1.2.3.4
The rfc does not state if these are allowed.
This clarification is important as some user scripts might
generate such ip addresses.
An analogy I found is that most unix versions treat
/home/./ftp
same as
/home/ftp
please getback to me suggestions?
