Support for IPv6 in Converter Standalone

Converter Standalone supports both IPv4 and IPv6 Internet protocols with several limitations.
Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6 or IPng) is the successor to Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4), which is the
currently used protocol for assigning IP addresses to computers on the Internet. IPv6 was adopted to overcome
the expected exhaustion of IPv4 addresses that might be caused by the constantly increasing number of
computers on the Internet.
While IPv4 uses 32bit addresses, IPv6 uses 128bit. IPv6 addresses can have different formats or notations.
