Some IPv6 addresses cause parsing errors

[tobias47n9e]

When using

new IPv6("::ffff:172.20.0.6");

I get an error:

Error: Given string is already longer than given final length after padding: 4
leftPadWithZeroBit BinaryUtils.js:68
paddedArray IPv6Utils.js:16
expandWithZero IPv6Utils.js:15
expandIPv6Number IPv6Utils.js:40
IPv6 IPNumber.js:537

With some research I found that the standard (not sure if there is a standard?) notation for this would be 0:0:0:0:0:ffff:ac14:6. Would it be possible for the IPv6 method to handle this case if its just a different notation?

Thanks for bringing this up. I'll take a look and see if this needs fixing in the library. Will update once I have new info.

This falls under IPv4/IPv6 Translation and an issue already exist for it here #32. Hopefully should get around to implement this soon.
