"ipv6.addr == x:x:x:x:x:x:x:x", with the address in standard IPv6
address syntax.

(Presumably this is filtering packets *after* you've captured them, as
"ip.addr == x.x.x.x" can't be used as a capture filter; for a capture
filter, it'd be

	host x.x.x.x

for IPv4 and

	host x:x:x:x:x:x:x:x

for IPv6, if you have a version of libpcap that handles IPv6.)
