> Fully canonically, :: is 0000:0000:0000:000:0000:0000:0000:0000.

Nitpick: missed a single zero in the middle there.



The following comment "My apologies to trypophobic readers" makes me think that the mistake was intentional.


It wasn't, but I'm glad to have plausible deniability :) I fixed the typo.


Bigger nitpick: as per RFC 5952, canonically :: is ::. 0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000 is a valid way of writing the same address, but it's not the canonical way.


You are a hero
