AAAA记录中的AAAA是什么意思?

What does the AAAA in an AAAA record mean?

AAAA记录中的AAAA是什么意思?我猜它是针对 address:address:address:address 但在 IPv6 specification 中甚至找不到 AAAA 的提及。请提供来源。

"In the standard DNS zone format you use AAAA records – or “quad-a”. A 32 bit IPv4 address is an A record. IPv6 is four times the size – 128 bits – so it ended up being a quad-A record."
