Ipv6Unspec class
The address with all zero bits is called the +unspecified+ address (corresponding to 0.0.0.0 in IPv4). It should be something like this:
0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000
but, with the use of compression, it is usually written as just two colons:
::
or, specifying the netmask:
::/128
With IPAddress, create a unspecified IPv6 address using its own subclass:
ip = IPAddress::IPv6::Unspecified.new
ip.to_s /// => "::/128"
You can easily check if an IPv6 object is an unspecified address by using the IPv6/// unspecified? method
ip.unspecified? /// true
An unspecified IPv6 address can also be created with the wrapper method, like we've seen before
ip = IPAddress "::"
ip.unspecified? /// true
This address must never be assigned to an interface and is to be used only in software before the application has learned its host's source address appropriate for a pending connection. Routers must not forward packets with the unspecified address.
Creates a IPv6 unspecified address
ip = IPAddress::IPv6::Unspecified.new
ip.to_s /// => "::/128"
