var Address6 = require('ip-address').Address6;

var address = new Address6('2001:0:ce49:7601:e866:efff:62c3:fffe');

address.isValid(); // true

• Number of subnets of a certain size in a given address
• Display methods
  • Hex, binary, and decimal
  • Canonical form
  • Correct form
  • IPv4-compatible (i.e. ::ffff:192.168.0.1)
