Everything except 2000::/3 is bogus because it's not globally routable.
The IPv6 version of 192.0.2.0/24 is 2001:DB8::/32 (rfc3849).

Specific bogus address ranges that might be seen that would work on the 
right private network would be:
	::1 (localhost)
	::ffff:0:0/96 (ipv4-mapped addresses)
	fc00::/7 (unique local unicast)
	fe80::/10 (link local)
	fec0::/10 (site local, now deprecated)
Also,
	ff00::/8 (multicast)
