How do ports work with IPv6?
Solution 1:
They work almost the same as today. However, be sure you include []
around your IP.
For example : http://[1fff:0:a88:85a3::ac1f]:8001/index.html
Wikipedia has a pretty good article about IPv6: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6#Addressing
Solution 2:
The protocols used in IPv6 are the same as the protocols in IPv4. The only thing that changed between the two versions is the addressing scheme, DHCP [DHCPv6] and ICMP [ICMPv6]. So basically, anything TCP/UDP related, including the port range (0-65535) remains unchanged.
Edit: Port 0 is a reserved port in TCP but it does exist. See RFC793
