If you use 4-in-6 mapped format, omit zeroes
compression and add square
brackets, you get 47 characters:
[0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:ffff:123.123.123.123]
why would someone use such a format when there is canonical format
specified in http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5952? in this rfc and in
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6_address i was not
able to find anything about the format you gave example above. where is
it specified?
Under "dotted-quad notation", minus "leading zeroes" and minus
"groups
of zeroes" (note the little word "may" in both of these sections), plus
"Literal IPv6 addresses in network resource identifiers".
