<p>
IPv6 addresses are 128-bit identifiers for interfaces and
sets of interfaces which were introduced in the <acronym class="acronym">DNS</acronym> to facilitate
scalable Internet routing. There are three types of addresses: <span class="emphasis"><em>Unicast</em></span>,
an identifier for a single interface;
<span class="emphasis"><em>Anycast</em></span>,
an identifier for a set of interfaces; and <span class="emphasis"><em>Multicast</em></span>,
an identifier for a set of interfaces. Here we describe the global
Unicast address scheme. For more information, see RFC 3587,
"Global Unicast Address Format."
</p>
<p>
IPv6 unicast addresses consist of a
<span class="emphasis"><em>global routing prefix</em></span>, a
<span class="emphasis"><em>subnet identifier</em></span>, and an
<span class="emphasis"><em>interface identifier</em></span>.
</p>
<p>
The global routing prefix is provided by the
upstream provider or ISP, and (roughly) corresponds to the
IPv4 <span class="emphasis"><em>network</em></span> section
of the address range.
The subnet identifier is for local subnetting, much the
same as subnetting an
IPv4 /16 network into /24 subnets.
The interface identifier is the address of an individual
interface on a given network; in IPv6, addresses belong to
interfaces rather than to machines.
</p>
<p>
The subnetting capability of IPv6 is much more flexible than
that of IPv4: subnetting can be carried out on bit boundaries,
in much the same way as Classless InterDomain Routing
(CIDR), and the DNS PTR representation ("nibble" format)
makes setting up reverse zones easier.
</p>
<p>
The Interface Identifier must be unique on the local link,
and is usually generated automatically by the IPv6
implementation, although it is usually possible to
override the default setting if necessary. A typical IPv6
address might look like:
<span class="command"><strong>2001:db8:201:9:a00:20ff:fe81:2b32</strong></span>
</p>
<p>
IPv6 address specifications often contain long strings
of zeros, so the architects have included a shorthand for
specifying
them. The double colon (`::') indicates the longest possible
string
of zeros that can fit, and can be used only once in an address.

Specification documents for the Internet protocol suite, including
the <acronym class="acronym">DNS</acronym>, are published as part of
the Request for Comments (RFCs)
series of technical notes. The standards themselves are defined
by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and the Internet
Engineering Steering Group (IESG). RFCs can be obtained online via FTP at:

Internet Drafts (IDs) are rough-draft working documents of
the Internet Engineering Task Force. They are, in essence, RFCs
in the preliminary stages of development. Implementors are
cautioned not
to regard IDs as archival, and they should not be quoted or cited
in any formal documents unless accompanied by the disclaimer that
they are "works in progress." IDs have a lifespan of six months
after which they are deleted unless updated by their authors.
