  • Leading zeros’ in an IPv6 address are optional.
  • Example: An IPv6 address 2031:0000:13EF:0000:0000:09A0:876A:140B can be written as 2031:0:13EF:0:0:9A0:876A:140B.
  • Successive fields of zeros’ can be written as two colons “::”.
  • Example: The above given address can be written as 2031:0:13EF:: 9A0:876A:140B.
