SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REPRESENTING INTERNET PROTOCOL VERSION 6 (IPV6) ADDRESSES

摘要

The present invention provides a method and system for representation of Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) addresses in a more readable and manageable form, which can be easily remembered. In one embodiment a logical American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII codes) string is selected to denote a node, which is converted into hexadecimal values and appended to the network address so as to form the IP v6 address. The IP v6 address in the ASCII form is more readable and manageable and therefore easy to remember.
