Darren Pilgrim:IPv6 prefixes that should match 2001:db8::/32 and fe80::/16, respectively, per the search algorithm, but they have less than two octet pairs.You are now talking about a PREFIX. A PREFIX is not an ADDRESS. The ADDRESS is 3-8 fields separated by :. The PREFIX is created by dropping ":octetpair" from the IPv6 address.
Ok, bad example. ::1 and fe80::f00 are both valid addresses with less than three octet pairs.
