QUESTION

How are IP addresses normalized and stored in Panther? For example, how would Panther normalize these identical IPv6 addresses?

ANSWER

Panther does not change incoming data, but the IPv6 addresses are normalized by expanding them fully (e.g., 1234🔢1234:0000:0000🔢1234:1234) when putting them into p_any_ip_addresses, which is what is used for searching.
