This video provides an overview of the rules for IPv6 compression. It's important to understand these rules before attempting to do the graded plugin.

IPv6 Compression

There are 10 questions in this quiz and you need to get a 10/10 in order to pass. If you make a mistake please check if you are following the IPv6 rules and for syntax errors.IPv6 Compression Rules Overview:1.) Remove all the leading 0's in each segment for example: 02FD:0012:AB11:FD04 ---> 2FD:12:AB11:FD04

2.) Replace 0's segments with ":0:" for example: 12CB:0000:FD45:0000: ---> 12CB:0:FD45:0:

3.) Remove inline 0's (consecutive 0's segment) and replace with "::" for example: FD14:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:FF20:FD23 ---> FD14::FF20:FD23

4.) You can only remove consecutive 0's segments once per run, for example: FD14:0000:0000:AB12:0000:0000:FF20:FD23 ---> FD14::AB12:0:0:FF20:FD23
