Re: I-D Action:draft-kawamura-ipv6-text-representation-01.txt

Hi Brian, All

Thanks for the comment.

RFC4291 is described as "one or more groups".

Many operators would think that there are more than one 16 bit field.
Therefore , we recommend "two or more groups".

Fortunately, inet_ntop() is "two or more groups". :)

Masanobu
