Introduction to Security

Which of these is a valid alternate representation of the IPv6 address 2001:0da8:0000:0000:0024:0000:4ab9:0300?

  • A 2001:0da8::0024:0000:4ab9:03
  • B 2001:da8::0:24::4ab9:300
  • C 2001:da8::24::4ab9:300
  • D 2001:da8::24:0:4ab9:300
Explanation

IPv6 notation permits omission of leading zeros within each hextet and replacement of one contiguous sequence of all-zero hextets with ::. The address therefore becomes 2001:da8::24:0:4ab9:300; only one :: may appear in an IPv6 address.
