Rich is right.It's Hex. Doyle II covers this pretty good.

sure you'd want to write a 128-bit number in decimal? There are some
cool tricks in 6 though with addressing notation, for example the IPv6
loopback address can be written as 0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0001 or
0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1 or ::1. Here's a paper I wrote a little while back on
IPv6 vs IPv4.

Subject: IPV6 decimal or hex
Hi all:
I have been playing with IPv6 and found that dealing with hex number is
a pain in the neck. The standard wants to use HEX ....but old habits die
hard
what are your thoughts
do you think the networking industry will use HEX or Decimal .
I thing everyone likes the easy decimal scheme
