+/**
+ * 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 id="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 id="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><ul style="list-style-type:none">
+ *   <li>{@code 1080:0:0:0:8:800:200C:417A}</li>
+ *   </ul></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><ul style="list-style-type:none">
+ *   <li>{@code 1080::8:800:200C:417A}</li>
+ *   </ul></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><ul style="list-style-type:none">
+ *   <li>{@code ::FFFF:129.144.52.38}</li>
+ *   <li>{@code ::129.144.52.38}</li>
+ *   </ul></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><ul style="list-style-type:none">
+ *   <li>{@code ::FFFF:d.d.d}</li>
+ *   <li>{@code ::FFFF:d.d}</li>
+ *   <li>{@code ::d.d.d}</li>
+ *   <li>{@code ::d.d}</li>
+ *   </ul></blockquote>
+ *
+ *   <p> The following form:
+ *
+ *   <blockquote><ul style="list-style-type:none">
+ *   <li>{@code ::FFFF:d}</li>
+ *   </ul></blockquote>
+ *
+ *   <p> is valid, however it is an unconventional representation of
+ *   the IPv4-compatible IPv6 address,
+ *
+ *   <blockquote><ul style="list-style-type:none">
+ *   <li>{@code ::255.255.0.d}</li>
+ *   </ul></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 class="borderless">
+ * <caption style="display:none">Description of IPv4-mapped address</caption>
+ * <tr><th style="vertical-align:top; padding-right:2px"><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 id="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.
