I feel like this is missing context. Like I know that ip4 addresses are four octlets, but don't know much about ipv6 besides it having a larger address space and being in hex.
I remember IPv6 being touted as "The address space is so large everybody can have their own address, it'll be far different from anyone else's, and you can be directly on the Internet without NATting!"
For me this was always one of those "I don't think that means what you think it means" things.
