Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In precise terms, an IPv6 address is 128 bits long and is arranged in eight groups, each of which is 16 bits. Each group is expressed as four hexadecimal digits and the groups are separated by colons.

Detailed explanation-2: -IPv6 addresses are 128 bits in length and written as a string of hexadecimal digits. Every 4 bits can be represented by a single hexadecimal digit, for a total of 32 hexadecimal values (016 [00002] through f16 [11112]).

Detailed explanation-3: -::1/128-The loopback address is a unicast localhost address (corresponding to 127.0. 0.1/8 in IPv4). If an application in a host sends packets to this address, the IPv6 stack will loop these packets back on the same virtual interface.
