Albert Lee and I have worked on a solution to account for the possibility of an
IPv6 address. I'm attaching a patch with our proposed solution.

> UUIDGenerator class uses an IPv4 address as part of its seed when generating
> a UUID. That is, the UUIDGenerator makes a call to InteAddress 'getAddress'
> method to get the address and assumes it returns a byte array of size 4 (the
> size of an IPv4 address). However, in an environment which uses IPv6,
> 'getAddress' can return a byte array of length 16. UUIDGenerator needs to be
> updated to account for an IPv6 address.
