FAQ
What is a valid IPv6 address?
A valid IPv6 address consists of eight groups of four hexadecimal digits separated by colons. Consecutive zero groups can be compressed using :: (only once per address). Example: 2001:0db8::1.
What is the :: compression in IPv6?
The :: notation represents one or more groups of consecutive zeros. For example, 2001:0db8:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0001 can be written as 2001:db8::1.
Does it support IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses?
Yes, the validator supports mixed notation like ::ffff:192.168.1.1, which represents an IPv4 address mapped to IPv6 format, commonly used in dual-stack environments.
