Sorry for not answering immediately. It has been a while since I wrote
that code. The ip6tobin function I wrote might not be adequate as it
is for your more general use case. I brought it up because I was
hoping the script specific ip6tobin function could be removed once we
had a proper library for handling IPv6 addresses. I suppose future
script will need all kinds of IPv6 address format transformations for
supporting various existing protocols. I am not sure what would be the
best way to implement a library for doing such transformations.
