About IPv4 and IPv6 representations
The same address can be represented in several useful formats for debugging, DNS and low-level networking. IPv6 compression removes unnecessary zero groups; the expanded form restores all eight groups.
An IPv4-mapped IPv6 address is a representation used by some software APIs. It does not magically make an IPv4-only destination reachable over native IPv6.
IPv4 uses in-addr.arpa and IPv6 uses nibble-reversed ip6.arpa names.
Represents an IPv4 address inside the ::ffff:0:0/96 IPv6 prefix.
The supplied IP is normalised and converted into equivalent machine-readable forms such as hexadecimal, binary, reverse-DNS notation and IPv4-mapped IPv6 where relevant.
