-^IPv6 address^Prefix length (bits)^Description^Notes^
-|::|128|unspecified|Used for default route and router solicitations. cf. 0.0.0.0 in IPv4|
-|::1|128|loopback address|cf. 127.0.0.1 in IPv4|
-|::ffff:a.b.c.d|96|IPv4 mapped IPv6 address|The lower 32 bits are the IPv4 address. Used in socket API's to represent IPv4 hosts.|
-|fe80::|10|link-local|Unroutable autoconfigured addresses used on a LAN, e.g. for DHCPv6|
-|fc00::|7|unique local|Addresses used only within an autonomous system, unroutable globally. Cf. RFC 1918 addresses such as used in NAT.|
-|ff00::|8|multicast| |
-|2000::|3|global unicast|All global unicast addresses currently begin with 2.|
-Some IPv6 address prefixes have been deprecated, and should no longer be used.

-|3ffe::|16|6bone prefix|Used 1998-2006.|
-|::a.b.c.d|96|embedded IPv4|96 zero bits followed by 32 IPv4 bits. Also called “IPv4 compatible IPv6 address”. Replaced by mapped addresses.|

-|2001:0::|32|Teredo tunnels|The remaining bits come from a Teredo server and the client NAT device.|
-|2002::|16|6to4 tunnels|The next 32 bits are the client IPv4 address|
