What is the IPv6 equivalent of 192.168.xxx.xxx? [duplicate]
I have a server which responds differently to requests from the general internet as opposed to the intranet. For IPv4 I can simply check if the address begins with 192.168
. This works for my needs. What is the equivalent for IPv6?
First of all "intranet" is not limited to 192.168
. There are 3 private networks defined in RFC-1918: 10.0.0.0/8
, 172.16.0.0/12
and 192.168.0.0/16
.
In IPv6, it is called a Unique local address: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unique_local_address and covered in RFC-4193 -- all addresses matching FC00::/7
. Basically, you should be able to search for IPv6 addresses starting with fc
or fd
.
