- The canonical format of IPv6 addresses uses the compressed
- format described in RFC 4291, Section 2.2, item 2 with the
- following additional rules: the :: substitution must be
- applied to the longest sequence of all-zero 16-bit chunks
- in an IPv6 address. If there is a tie, the first sequence
- of all-zero 16-bit chunks is replaced by ::. Single
- all-zero 16-bit chunks are not compressed. The canonical
- format uses lowercase characters and leading zeros are
- not allowed. The canonical format for the zone index is
- the numerical format as described in RFC 4007, Section
- 11.2.";
