APIPA addresses use the 169.254.0.0/16 prefix. The scope of a link-local address is the local link. A link-local address is required for Neighbor Discovery processes and is always automatically configured, even in the absence of all other unicast addresses. For more information about how link...

Link local: The scope of the IPv6 address is the local subnet. IPv6 link local addresses are comparable to IPv4 link local addresses used in Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA). Site local: The scope of the IPv6 address is the local organization. Site local addresses were deprecated by...
The IPv6 address types are:Unicast. An IPv6 unicast address is equivalent to an IPv4 unicast address. You can use this address type for one-to-one communication between hosts. Each IPv6 host has multiple unicast addresses. There are three types of unicast addresses: Global unicast addresses....
IPv6 unicast link-local addresses are similar to IPv4 APIPA addresses used by computers running Microsoft Windows. Hosts on the same link (the same subnet) use these automatically configured addresses to communicate with each other. Neighbor Discovery provides address resolution. The prefix for link-...
IPv6 link local addresses are comparable to IPv4 link local addresses used in Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA). Site local: The scope of the IPv6 address is the local organization. Site local addresses were deprecated by RFC 3879 and replaced by unique local addresses as defined in RFC...
Types of IPv6 Addresses IPv6 supports three types of addresses: Unicast A unicast address identifies a single interface within the scope of the type of unicast address. With the appropriate unicast routing topology, packets addressed to a unicast address are delivered to a single interface. To ac...
Once a PC receives an IPv4 address from a DHCP server, the APIPA address is no longer reachable. However, with IPv6, a network interface always has a link-local address even if you assign another IPv6 address manually or if the NIC receives an IPv6 address from a DHCP server. ...
Link-Local Addresses and Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) The concepts of unicast, multicast, and broadcast and their accompanying addresses are familiar to IPv4 experts. However, there is one less-popular address type that can be used for unicast communications on a confined LAN segment. ...
