 Description   

Functions to encode/decode IPv6 functions and possibly other related tasks.
Essentially wrappers around ipv6_ntop() and ipv6_pton() which actually also support IPv4 addresses.

Encoded storage can be in VARBINARY(16); while a native type is possible, this is not urgent/essential to the issue.
Likewise, IPv6 client connectivity is not part of this feature request.

Pieter Ennes (WatchMouse) has written UDFs for this task:

code at

I'd recommend putting these in as native functions.

Might it make more sense to mark it as "triaged" or "in progress" or
something like that - the ref to worklog is fine and clear, but the
"Invalid" marker is confusing for people browsing by.

Cheers,
Arjen.
