[lug] netstat question

[Jason Davis]

Hello,
 I have installed fedora core 2 to add some diversity for a slave
mysql server (the master is Debian). When I issue the command

netstat -tap

i get this ...
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address           Foreign Address        
State       PID/Program name
tcp        0      0 *:ssh                   *:*                    
LISTEN      1263/sshd

tcp        0      0 ::ffff:192.168.1.18:ssh ::ffff:192.168.1.:52509
ESTABLISHED 18814/0


(sorry if above wraps)

So why is netstat using ::ffff instead of the ip or name?

thanks,
jd
