Comment 1:

sorry, i don't understand this issue.
this is the example that is referenced in the golang-nuts post:
http://play.golang.org/p/bC1nblkq_u
could you elaborate what should be expected output?
if that program is not related, could you please give an example and
its expected output?

The ouput at parsing a address like "a1:a2:a3:a4::b1:b2:b3:b4" should be nil because 
no more than 6 groups in addition to the "::" may be present.
See definiition of IPv6v4-comp in http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5321#section-4.1.3

Comment 5 by raul.san@sent.com:

The title should be "net:IPv6 parser should fail with 7 groups plus one blank"

Comment 6 by raul.san@sent.com:

Note, that is also should be nil with 7 groups plus one blank:
http://play.golang.org/p/nuieTkQCdN

Comment 7:

according to http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4291#section-2.2,
"The use of "::" indicates one or more groups of 16 bits of zeros."
so 7 groups plus one :: is in fact acceptable.
