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
DB8prefix 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.
