Description
Database table columns for storing IP addresses have 40 characters only. The ideal IPv6 address can have a length of 8* 4+ 9 = 39 characters. However, RFC5952 section 5 clearly mentions that the last 32bit can be represented in octets style (IPv4), which means an IPv6 address can be expressed as
1234:5678:9abc:def0:1234:5678:123.234.210.109
|
Currently IPv6 addresses with embedded IPv4 addresses are even recognized and accepted (in both 3.0.x and 3.1.x):

return '#^(?:(?:(?:[\dA-F]{1,4}:){6}(?:[\dA-F]{1,4}:[\dA-F]{1,4}|(?:(?:\d{1,2}|1\d\d|2[0-4]\d|25[0-5])\.){3}(?:\d{1,2}|1\d\d|2[0-4]\d|25[0-5])))|(?:::(?:[\dA-F]{1,4}:){0,5}(?:[\dA-F]{1,4}(?::[\dA-F]{1,4})?|(?:(?:\d{1,2}|1\d\d|2[0-4]\d|25[0-5])\.){3}(?:\d{1,2}|1\d\d|2[0-4]\d|25[0-5])))|(?:(?:[\dA-F]{1,4}:):(?:[\dA-F]{1,4}:){4}(?:[\dA-F]{1,4}:[\dA-F]{1,4}|(?:(?:\d{1,2}|1\d\d|2[0-4]\d|25[0-5])\.){3}(?:\d{1,2}|1\d\d|2[0-4]\d|25[0-5])))|(?:(?:[\dA-F]{1,4}:){1,2}:(?:[\dA-F]{1,4}:){3}(?:[\dA-F]{1,4}:[\dA-F]{1,4}|(?:(?:\d{1,2}|1\d\d|2[0-4]\d|25[0-5])\.){3}(?:\d{1,2}|1\d\d|2[0-4]\d|25[0-5])))|(?:(?:[\dA-F]{1,4}:){1,3}:(?:[\dA-F]{1,4}:){2}(?:[\dA-F]{1,4}:[\dA-F]{1,4}|(?:(?:\d{1,2}|1\d\d|2[0-4]\d|25[0-5])\.){3}(?:\d{1,2}|1\d\d|2[0-4]\d|25[0-5])))|(?:(?:[\dA-F]{1,4}:){1,4}:(?:[\dA-F]{1,4}:)(?:[\dA-F]{1,4}:[\dA-F]{1,4}|(?:(?:\d{1,2}|1\d\d|2[0-4]\d|25[0-5])\.){3}(?:\d{1,2}|1\d\d|2[0-4]\d|25[0-5])))|(?:(?:[\dA-F]{1,4}:){1,5}:(?:[\dA-F]{1,4}:[\dA-F]{1,4}|(?:(?:\d{1,2}|1\d\d|2[0-4]\d|25[0-5])\.){3}(?:\d{1,2}|1\d\d|2[0-4]\d|25[0-5])))|(?:(?:[\dA-F]{1,4}:){1,6}:[\dA-F]{1,4})|(?:(?:[\dA-F]{1,4}:){1,7}:)|(?:::))$#i';

Solution is to increase all IP address columns from 40 up to 45 characters.
