Use IPv6 addresses that are reserved for documentation #219

The 2001:db8::/32 is reserved for documentation just like yours, in order to avoid overlapping with real-world address space. Alternatively, you could consider using link-local addresses for examples.

Sorry for the noise. I misread the README.md to mean that it was using one of Wikipedia's IPv6 addresses, without checking what was actually used in the files. I see now that link-local addresses are used, so there's no risk of overlapping with the public Internet.
