		Additional Benefit Apart from generally reducing the length of an IPv6 address when encode in a textual format, this scheme also has the benefit of returning IPv6 addresses to a fixed length representation, leading zeroes are never omitted, thus removing the ugly and awkward variable length representation that has previously been recommended.
		Further, the appearance of the address, as if it may be random gibberish in a compressed file, makes it much harder to detect by a packet sniffer programmed to look for bypassing addresses.
