When running getpeerinfo
, most nodes show a standard addr
like this:
95.121.82.153:8333
But the first inbound connection has a differently formatted addr
like this:
[2a01:4f8:212:3b1f::2]:32220
What does this mean?
That's an IPv6 address. Basically, it's the latest version for formatting/assigning IP addresses. At some point, we should all be seeing a lot of those...but they've been saying that for years.
