An IPv6 address is a 128-bit address that is used to identify devices on a network. Here is an example of an IPv6 address:
2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334
This is a valid IPv6 address that follows the format defined in the IPv6 standard. It is composed of 8 blocks of 4 hexadecimal digits separated by colons. The leading zeros in each block can be omitted for readability, so the above address can be written as:
2001:db8:85a3::8a2e:370:7334
Note that a double colon (::
) can be used to represent multiple consecutive blocks of zeros, but it can only appear once in a single address.
