In each group leading zero’s can be skipped and once in an address a sequence of groups only containing zero’s can be replaced by a double colon (::). 2001:4b98:0041:0000:0000:bc7c:0124 => 2001:4b98:41::bc7c:124 2001:0000:0000:0041:0000:0000:0124 => 2001::41:0:0:0124 or 2001:0:0:41::124 IPv4 addresses can be written […]

IPv6 support in the Netherlands is still not really taken up by the larger ISPs. In 2009 I created a IPv6 tunnel on the SIXXS network. Beginning 2013 is looked like Telfort (my ISP at that time) was starting to support IPv6, they enabled 6RD, that could be used after modifying the modem settings manually.
