Subject: MS-ADTS 6.1.1.2.2.2.1 Subnet Object address range

hi dochelp,

I just wish to clarify my interpretation of MS-ADTS 6.1.1.2.2.2.1 (v20150630).

According to that document (and a small amount of testing against Windows 2012), a subnet IP range can't start with a leading zero. But with IPv6 it is possible create subnets with implicit leading zeros.
For example, "::ff00/120" and "0::ff00/120" refer to the same address range, but only the latter is forbidden. (right?)

Can I thus infer that no attempt is made to canonicalise an IPv6 subnet name, and collisions are only avoided by DN uniqueness? That is, could I simultaneously have subnets called "2001:DA8::/48" and "2001:DA8:0::/48" which evaluate to the same address range?

Also (as I understand point 6) it says the address part of an IPv4 CIDR can't exactly equal the implied mask. For example, "255.128.0.0/9" is not allowed because the "/9" implies a mask of "255.128.0.0". Just for clarity can you confirm that there is no analogous constraint on IPv6?

thanks

Douglas
