Title: How to represent address/port pair?
Yes, use square brackets around the IPv6 address - covered in an RFC:
 
[2001:ec8:4008:1::123]:80
 
Alternatively, use symbolic name via DNS:
 
www.kame.net:80

Subject: How to represent address/port pair?

Is there a conventional way to represent a numeric IPv6 address along with
a port as a string?  With v4, many applications would interpret a ":" as
introducing a port number, i.e. "telnet 127.0.0.1:9999".  Obviously that
doesn't work well with v6 addresses.  Any recommendations for the best way
to do something like that with v6?
