@steelman What do you mean? Both a valid addresses.

@goetz indeed! however, both contain, lets call them: magic numbers. the question is whether we should convert them to hex or not. converted they are accurate. not converted are better recognizable for us humans.

@steelman @goetz Pick whichever semantics would suit your use-case. If it's important to derive meaning from your IP addresses -- a fairly uncommon requirement -- then sure, don't use the A-F hex digits. The IPv6 network behavior will not be any different.

Insofar as the network is concerned, there would also be no issue if only ASCII bytes were encoded within the IID, so that hexdumps of the packet would spell out funny strings. Some programmers can read ASCII natively.

@steelman BCD górą! Może traci się część dostępnych kombinacji, ale reprezentacja tekstowa wprost strawna dla naszego dziesiątkowego mózgu.

@steelman jest jeszcze: 2001:db8::42.69.21.37, przedatne gdy magiczne liczby odpowiadają jakiemuś adresowi IPv4
