Andreas, Martin, The relevant ABNF to construct an IPv6 address is: node = nodename [":" node-port] node-port = port | obfport nodename = IPv4address | IPv6address | "unknown" | "hidden" | obfnode IPv6address = addr6 | "[" addr6 "]" which could result in something like 2001:db8::5555, which has an ambiguous meaning -- it could be "2001:db8 port 5555", or simply the IPv6 address "2001:db8::5555" (without the node-port). The simplest fix is to require the "[]" characters around an IPv6 address, similar to how HTTP is constructed (RFC3986), like this: IPv6address = "[" addr6 "]" -dReceived on Tuesday, 26 April 2011 05:15:26 GMT
