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. This means thatcomputers on a link can always communicate through IPv6 using link-local addresses, which is ...
Link-Local Addresses in IPv6 In IPv6, link-local addresses have the prefixFE80::/10, which means they start with FE80 and can have a variety of subsequent values but are confined to the local link. Every IPv6-enabled network interface must have a link-local address, which is automatically...
In the last post of this IPv6 tutorial, you learned about the different address types and the new public IP addresses,the global unicast addresses. Today I will introduce the so-calledlocal-use, unicast addresses, which are those IPv6 addresses that are not routed across the public Internet....
Fixes: #7882 #3272 Link local IPv6 addresses have the format [IPv6-address%interface]:port, notice the extra %interface part which is called the zone. Unlike link local IPv4 addresses, link local I...

In the Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6), the address block fe80::/10 has been reserved for link-local unicast addressing.[2]The actual link local addresses are assigned with the prefix fe80::/64.[6][note 2]They may be assigned by automatic (stateless) or stateful (e.g. manual) mec...
Link-local addresses forIPv4are defined in the address block 169.254.0.0/16, inCIDR notation. InIPv6, they are assigned with the fe80::/64 prefix. IPv4[edit source|edit] InRFC 3927, the Internet Engineering Task Force has reserved the address block 169.254.1.0 through 169.254.254.255[note ...
Making a DNS lookup against an ipv6 link-local address hangs and fails on macOS when using thenative (non-CGO) resolver. This appears to manifest within the non-CGO based DNS resolver, but I believe it's more generally applicable to the network stack itself, it's just easier to reproduce...
local IPADDR - specifies the source IP address to use in outgoing packets. ttl TTL - specifies the TTL value to use in outgoing packets. tos TOS - specifies the TOS value to use in outgoing packets. df DF - specifies the usage of the Don't Fragment flag (DF) bit in outgoing pa...
