223255255255

223255255255 is a 12-digit decimal string. When interpreted as an IPv4 address in dotted-decimal notation, it corresponds to 223.255.255.255.

In IPv4 addressing, 223.255.255.255 lies within the range 223.0.0.0 to 223.255.255.255, which is part of the historic Class C block. If a network is configured as 223.255.255.0/24, the broadcast address for that subnet is 223.255.255.255. This address is known as a directed broadcast, used to deliver a packet to all hosts on the 223.255.255.0/24 network.

It is distinct from the limited broadcast address 255.255.255.255, which targets all hosts on the local link regardless of subnet. In practice, many modern networks disable or filter directed broadcasts to prevent misuse such as traffic amplification. Consequently, while 223.255.255.255 can be technically valid in a properly configured local network, it is unlikely to be usable or forwarded across the wider Internet.

Beyond its potential role in IPv4 routing, 223255255255 has no widely recognized meaning as a standard identifier. Without the dotted-decimal interpretation, the string is simply a numeric sequence with no inherent significance in most contexts.
