Yes, use square brackets around the IPv6 address - covered in an RFC: [2001:ec8:4008:1::123]:80 Alternatively, use symbolic name via DNS: www.kame.net:80 ________________________________ From: [email protected] on behalf of Roy Smith Sent: Sun 10/23/2005 1:54 AM To: [email protected] Subject: How to represent address/port pair? Is there a conventional way to represent a numeric IPv6 address along with a port as a string? With v4, many applications would interpret a ":" as introducing a port number, i.e. "telnet 127.0.0.1:9999". Obviously that doesn't work well with v6 addresses. Any recommendations for the best way to do something like that with v6? --------------------------------------------------------------------- The IPv6 Users Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe users" to [email protected]
