/**
 * This class represents an Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) address.
 * Defined by <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2373.txt">
 * <i>RFC&nbsp;2373: IP Version 6 Addressing Architecture</i></a>.
 *
 * <h3> <A NAME="format">Textual representation of IP addresses</a> </h3>
 *
 * Textual representation of IPv6 address used as input to methods
 * takes one of the following forms:
 *
 * <ol>
 *   <li><p> <A NAME="lform">The preferred form</a> is x:x:x:x:x:x:x:x,
 *   where the 'x's are
 *   the hexadecimal values of the eight 16-bit pieces of the
 *   address. This is the full form.  For example,
 *
 *   <blockquote><table cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 summary="layout">
 *   <tr><td>{@code 1080:0:0:0:8:800:200C:417A}<td></tr>
 *   </table></blockquote>
 *
 *   <p> Note that it is not necessary to write the leading zeros in
 *   an individual field. However, there must be at least one numeral
 *   in every field, except as described below.</li>
 *
 *   <li><p> Due to some methods of allocating certain styles of IPv6
 *   addresses, it will be common for addresses to contain long
 *   strings of zero bits. In order to make writing addresses
 *   containing zero bits easier, a special syntax is available to
 *   compress the zeros. The use of "::" indicates multiple groups
 *   of 16-bits of zeros. The "::" can only appear once in an address.
 *   The "::" can also be used to compress the leading and/or trailing
 *   zeros in an address. For example,
 *
 *   <blockquote><table cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 summary="layout">
 *   <tr><td>{@code 1080::8:800:200C:417A}<td></tr>
 *   </table></blockquote>
 *
 *   <li><p> An alternative form that is sometimes more convenient
 *   when dealing with a mixed environment of IPv4 and IPv6 nodes is
 *   x:x:x:x:x:x:d.d.d.d, where the 'x's are the hexadecimal values
 *   of the six high-order 16-bit pieces of the address, and the 'd's
 *   are the decimal values of the four low-order 8-bit pieces of the
 *   standard IPv4 representation address, for example,
 *
 *   <blockquote><table cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 summary="layout">
 *   <tr><td>{@code ::FFFF:129.144.52.38}<td></tr>
 *   <tr><td>{@code ::129.144.52.38}<td></tr>
 *   </table></blockquote>
 *
 *   <p> where "::FFFF:d.d.d.d" and "::d.d.d.d" are, respectively, the
 *   general forms of an IPv4-mapped IPv6 address and an
 *   IPv4-compatible IPv6 address. Note that the IPv4 portion must be
 *   in the "d.d.d.d" form. The following forms are invalid:
 *
 *   <blockquote><table cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 summary="layout">
 *   <tr><td>{@code ::FFFF:d.d.d}<td></tr>
 *   <tr><td>{@code ::FFFF:d.d}<td></tr>
 *   <tr><td>{@code ::d.d.d}<td></tr>
 *   <tr><td>{@code ::d.d}<td></tr>
 *   </table></blockquote>
 *
 *   <p> The following form:
 *
 *   <blockquote><table cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 summary="layout">
 *   <tr><td>{@code ::FFFF:d}<td></tr>
 *   </table></blockquote>
 *
 *   <p> is valid, however it is an unconventional representation of
 *   the IPv4-compatible IPv6 address,
 *
 *   <blockquote><table cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 summary="layout">
 *   <tr><td>{@code ::255.255.0.d}<td></tr>
 *   </table></blockquote>
 *
 *   <p> while "::d" corresponds to the general IPv6 address
 *   "0:0:0:0:0:0:0:d".</li>
 * </ol>
 *
 * <p> For methods that return a textual representation as output
 * value, the full form is used. Inet6Address will return the full
 * form because it is unambiguous when used in combination with other
 * textual data.
 *
 * <h4> Special IPv6 address </h4>
 *
 * <blockquote>
 * <table cellspacing=2 summary="Description of IPv4-mapped address">
 * <tr><th valign=top><i>IPv4-mapped address</i></th>
 *         <td>Of the form::ffff:w.x.y.z, this IPv6 address is used to
 *         represent an IPv4 address. It allows the native program to
 *         use the same address data structure and also the same
 *         socket when communicating with both IPv4 and IPv6 nodes.
 *
 *         <p>In InetAddress and Inet6Address, it is used for internal
 *         representation; it has no functional role. Java will never
 *         return an IPv4-mapped address.  These classes can take an
 *         IPv4-mapped address as input, both in byte array and text
 *         representation. However, it will be converted into an IPv4
 *         address.</td></tr>
 * </table></blockquote>
 *
 * <h4><A NAME="scoped">Textual representation of IPv6 scoped addresses</a></h4>
 *
 * <p> The textual representation of IPv6 addresses as described above can be
 * extended to specify IPv6 scoped addresses. This extension to the basic
 * addressing architecture is described in [draft-ietf-ipngwg-scoping-arch-04.txt].
 *
 * <p> Because link-local and site-local addresses are non-global, it is possible
 * that different hosts may have the same destination address and may be
 * reachable through different interfaces on the same originating system. In
 * this case, the originating system is said to be connected to multiple zones
 * of the same scope. In order to disambiguate which is the intended destination
 * zone, it is possible to append a zone identifier (or <i>scope_id</i>) to an
 * IPv6 address.
 *
 * <p> The general format for specifying the <i>scope_id</i> is the following:
 *
 * <blockquote><i>IPv6-address</i>%<i>scope_id</i></blockquote>
 * <p> The IPv6-address is a literal IPv6 address as described above.
 * The <i>scope_id</i> refers to an interface on the local system, and it can be
 * specified in two ways.
 * <ol><li><i>As a numeric identifier.</i> This must be a positive integer
 * that identifies the particular interface and scope as understood by the
 * system. Usually, the numeric values can be determined through administration
 * tools on the system. Each interface may have multiple values, one for each
 * scope. If the scope is unspecified, then the default value used is zero.</li>
 * <li><i>As a string.</i> This must be the exact string that is returned by
 * {@link java.net.NetworkInterface#getName()} for the particular interface in
 * question. When an Inet6Address is created in this way, the numeric scope-id
 * is determined at the time the object is created by querying the relevant
 * NetworkInterface.</li></ol>
 *
 * <p> Note also, that the numeric <i>scope_id</i> can be retrieved from
 * Inet6Address instances returned from the NetworkInterface class. This can be
 * used to find out the current scope ids configured on the system.
