Re: [v6ops] On IPv6 address part naming

The D-Link users manual is confused about how to name this 16-bit:

"Note: Stateful DHCPv6 is supported after the IPv6 address 16-bit.  For 
example: Interface ID range from 1 to ffff, IPv6 address range from 
2111:123:123:123::1 to 2111:123:123:123::ffff".

'Tetragrammaton' and 'quadriliteral' may have helped better than '16-bit'.
