A long time ago (2013) my company added IPv6 to our networking product. We produced a whole suite of test cases to check our IPv6 validation code. You can review the original at: https://github.com/richb-intermapper/IPv6-Regex/blob/master/test-ipv6-regex.pl
This PR translates the original perl code to Javascript. It finds many chases where the current isV6Format() function appears to accept illegal format addresses.
Use
npm run testmany
command (ornode test/many.test.ts
) to run the test that outputs failing V6 addresses.
