From: Maciej Żenczykowski <zenczykowski@xxxxxxxxx>
in6_pton() supports 'low-32-bit dot-decimal representation'
(this is useful with DNS64/NAT64 networks for example):
# echo +aaaa:bbbb:cccc:dddd:eeee:ffff:1.2.3.4 > /proc/self/net/xt_recent/DEFAULT
# cat /proc/self/net/xt_recent/DEFAULT
src=aaaa:bbbb:cccc:dddd:eeee:ffff:0102:0304 ttl: 0 last_seen: 9733848829 oldest_pkt: 1 9733848829
but the provided buffer is too short:
# echo +aaaa:bbbb:cccc:dddd:eeee:ffff:255.255.255.255 > /proc/self/net/xt_recent/DEFAULT
-bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
