The IPv6 address shown, `2001:DB8:AAAA:1::1`, is a **Global Unicast** address.
- The first part of the address (2001:DB8) falls within the range of global unicast addresses, which typically start with `2000::/3`.
- The `DB8` prefix is specifically reserved for documentation purposes (as per RFC 3849), but it is still considered a global unicast address.
The other types of addresses mentioned:
- **Multicast** addresses typically start with `FF00::/8`.
- **Unique Local** addresses fall within the range of `FC00::/7`.
- **Link Local** addresses start with `FE80::/10`.
Thus, the correct classification of the address is **Global Unicast**.
