How to build an IPv6 address
An IPv6 address is composed by 8 fields of 16 bits and is represented like this: x:x:x:x:x:x:x:x Where each x is an hexadecimal value. If, in one of the fields we have zeros at the left it is not necessary to write them, also if a field has only zeros its representation can be simplified. For example: 1080:0:0:0:8:800:200C:417A Simplified will be like this: 1080::8:800:200C:417A 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1 Simplified: ::1 Addresses are formed like this: Where: Site prefix: Composed of 48 bits. Describes the public topology that the ISP asigns. Subnet ID: Composed of 16 bits. Is assign by the user or the site administrator. The subnet ID describes the private topology, also denominated site topology. Interface ID: Composed of 64 bits. Contains the interface ID, also denominated token. The interface ID is configurated automatically using the MAC address of the interface or manually with the EUI64 format. To convert the MAC address using the EUI64 format we just have to use this sim...
