: The trouble is, connection targets (IP/port combinations) are frequently passed around in ''string'' format with the version undeclared. Many programs which need to operate with IPv4 and IPv6 addresses actually have difficulty with it, even though the standardized formats are documented. Correctly converting that string representation into a logical representation is what this task is intended to be about. The inclusion of both IPv4 and IPv6 notation, as well as the inclusion ":portNumber", is intentional, to attempt reflect the full complexity of the problem. So what remains is likely a poorly chosen task title and an an insufficiently-described task. I have extreme difficulty being clear on the latter point, though. --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 14:27, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
