Hi everyone, I have a question regarding IP V6. Basically, it says in the CCNP material that if we have the following adress:
1080:0000:0000:0000:0008:0800:200C:417A it can be shortened to : 1080::8:800:200C:417A I'm ok with that, however my concern is about an address such as: 1080:0000:0000:0000:0008:0000:0000:417A it could be shortened to: 1080::8::417A is that correct???? therefore once we are given this "1080::8::417A" address, how do we know whether it is a shortcut for: 1080:0000:0000:0000:0008:0000:0000:417A or 1080:0000:0000:0008:0000:0000:0000:417A The only solution I can see is that maybe IPV6 would not allow more than 4 hexadecimal fields containing 0000... anyone has an idea???
