It's [v6.fe800:1(some delimiter)de0]. >- what do you mean by unique? I mean the [v6. ... ] part is different from any other URI format. >- what do you mean by "it's already been told based on the URI format"? I mean that the application knows based on the fact that the URI that it's parsing has [v6. (something) ] - it knows that the (something) is an address with a scope zone. >I also seem to fail to understand this sentence...what do you mean by >"the fact that a zone is present separately from the address"? It's the communication that is separate from the address; the same point as above.
