After the mess with dot notation for 32bit ASes, can we not make this more complex?
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If you need memorable IPv6 address for important things then make them short. eg we've made our IPv6 resolver addresses:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>2001:44b8:1::1 and 2001:44b8:2::2 (14 chars)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Which, compared to our IPv4 one (192.231.203.132 = 15 chars) is shorter!</div>

<div>Couldn't we just have the libraries that display the address use ASCII instead of hex? That way a 64 bit interface address could represent an arbitrary 8 char string. <br>
<br>
eg 2001:db9:4865:6c6c:6f20:576f:726c:6421=> 2001:db9:"Hello World!"<br>

Careful Narelle,<br>
<br>
Otherwise soon there will be a proposal for IPv8 which includes support for all of the missing english and non-english characters.<br>
<br>
Yikes!<br>
