Original Text

An IPv6 address is a 128-bit quantity that is written as eight hexadecimal numbers, each in the range 0 through ffff, separated by a semicolon (":"); 2001:0:200:3:0:0:0:1 is an example of an IPv6 address.  IPv6 addresses frequently have adjacent fields whose value is 0.  One such group of 0 fields may be abbreviated by two semicolons ("::").

Corrected Text
--------------

IPv6 addresses frequently have adjacent fields whose value is 0.  One such group of 0 fields may be abbreviated by two colons ("::"). (See [RFC4291] for more details.)
