IPv6 mapped output
::ffff:0:0
Expanded IPv6 address
0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:ffff:0000:0000
IPv4 dotted-quad notation
::ffff:0.0.0.0
0.0.0.0 is a special-use IPv4 address
0.0.0.0 is the unspecified IPv4 address. Software can use it to mean “all local IPv4 interfaces” when binding a server, but it does not identify a reachable remote host.
Its IPv4-mapped IPv6 representation is ::ffff:0:0. The mapping preserves the IPv4 bits for IPv6-aware APIs; it does not change the address's special routing rules.
See the IANA IPv4 special-purpose registry for the current assignments.
