You can use an IV initialized to zero. (We will cover this in Monday's
class.)

If it works with ::1, then you should be good. You can also try this on
the link-local address (for example fe80::216:3eff:fec3:3c22). I will
make available to you during our last two classes a host with a routable
IPv6 address for your testing.
