2001db8abcd48

2001db8abcd48 is a hexadecimal string of 13 characters. In computing contexts, such strings can serve as identifiers, keys, or fragments of larger hashes or addresses. Without delimiters or context, the exact meaning is ambiguous and can vary by application.

In networking, particularly IPv6, developers often use example addresses derived from the documentation prefix 2001:db8::/32. If segmented for readability, a string like 2001db8abcd48 could be read as the sequence 2001:0db8:abcd:0048, which would align with common practice of presenting IPv6 addresses in grouped hex digits. However, as written without colons, it is not a valid IPv6 address and should be interpreted as a stylized representation rather than an actual address. The documented IPv6 placeholder 2001:db8::/32 is widely used to illustrate syntax and formatting.

In software development and data management, 2001db8abcd48 could also be used as a short hexadecimal identifier or as a fragment of a longer hash (for example, the first several hex digits of a SHA-1 or similar hash). The specific meaning depends on the context, including the length, character set, and whether delimiters are used. See also the IPv6 documentation prefix 2001:db8::/32 for related contextual usage.
