An IPv6 address is written (when it is not abbreviated) as 8 blocks of 4 hexadecimal digits each. For example, 2001:0db8:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0001

Zeroes on the left of each block may be omitted, keeping a minimum of one digit in each block - and several successive blocks that contain only zero may be replaced with "::". In the above example, the address can be abbreviated as 2001:db8::1. The "::" can be used only in one place, to avoid ambiguities.
