If you have just the raw 16 bytes of an IP address, such as 0x7F000001 00000000 00000000 00000000, how can you tell if this is an IPv4 or IPv6 address? I'm thinking store the IPv4 addresses in the low 4 bytes and set the upper 12 to something that ends up being a reserved or invalid address in IPv6, so I know if I encounter this that it's IPv4, but I don't know what values I would use for these bytes. 0xFF maybe? ::1 (0000:0000...0000:0001) is a valid address (localhost), so I can't use zero. :-/

...Did you read my post? Both are going to be stored as 128-bit numbers.

How are you getting the information? It might be simpler to just differentiate using a different method (i.e. selecting between the two when entering an IP)...

From a 16-byte BINARY field in a MySQL database.

Maybe I'll just use VARBINARY, the added size for the length byte shouldn't be too bad. Few megabytes at most. :-/

If the number is bigger than what IPv4 can possibly support then it's obviously IPv6. Other than that, you should probably be using a better method to store them so you can tell the difference (like VARBINARY as you said).

That's along the lines of what I was thinking, but e.g. ::7F00:0001 and 127.0.0.1 would both produce the same result.

No, but both of them would end up being stored as 00000000 00000000 00000000 7F000001 in the database. No way to tell whether it was v4 or v6 originally.
