| I'd write:
| 3ffe:456:45e::34 port 23
Personally I'd write host.domain port 23
Literal (hex/binary) IPv6 addresses should be seen by almost
nobody (there should never have been a standard way of putting
them in URLs, that is a truly dumb idea).
If the recipient of the information (host.domain port 23) really
needs to know the (current, temporary) mapping into the IPv6
address (rather than just looking it up when used, as they should)
then you can add "and host.domain's IPv6 address this week
is: 3ffe:456:45e::34)
