42 /** \brief IpV6 network address
44 This implementation of an IpV6 address is based strictly on RFC 4291: Internet Protocol
45 Version 6 (IPv6) Addressing Architecture. This class provides accessors to all the
46 information fields defined in this document.
48 The IpV6 addressing architecture however has several other components defined in other
49 RFC's. These RFC's should be implemented in additional modules:
51 \li RFC4193: Unique Local Addresses (ULA). Defines the fc00::/7 prefix
52 \li RFC3306: Unicast-Prefix-based IPv6 Multicast Addresses. Defines the ff30::/12 prefix
53 \li RFC3956: Embedding the Rendezvous Point (RP) Address in an IPv6 Multicast
54 Address. Defines the ff70::/12 prefix
55 \li RFC3056: Connection of IPv6 Domains via IPv4 Clouds. Defines 6to4 tunneling and the
57 \li RFC3849: IPv6 Address Prefix Reserved for Documentation. Defines the 2001:db8::/32
60 Here an overview of well-known prefixes:
