IPv6 Subnet Calculator

Expand, compress, and analyze IPv6 subnets with prefix information and address classification.

Enter an IPv6 address and prefix length (e.g. 2606:4700:4700::1111/48).

What is IPv6 Subnet Calculator?

An IPv6 subnet calculator expands and compresses addresses, shows prefix boundaries, and classifies address types so you can plan dual-stack networks accurately.

How it works

Enter an IPv6 address with optional prefix length. PacketWizard normalizes representation and reports prefix and classification details in your browser.

Common issues

  • Compression confusion

    Only one '::' run of zeros is allowed. Use the calculator to expand then re-compress when comparing addresses from different systems.

Frequently asked questions

What prefix should I use for LAN segments?

Many designs use /64 for end-user subnets. Follow your addressing plan and ISP allocation; the calculator helps validate boundaries, not choose policy.
