  2. Link-local address - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link-local_address

    Link-local addresses may be assigned manually by an administrator or by automatic operating system procedures. In Internet Protocol (IP) networks, they are assigned most often using stateless address autoconfiguration, a process that often uses a stochastic process to select the value of link-local addresses, assigning a pseudo-random address that is different for each session.

  3. Unique local address - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unique_local_address

    A unique local address (ULA) is an Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) address in the address range fc00:: / 7. [1] These addresses are non-globally reachable [ 2 ] (routable only within the scope of private networks, but not the global IPv6 Internet).

  4. Zero-configuration networking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-configuration_networking

    IPv6 hosts are required to support multiple addresses per interface; moreover, every IPv6 host is required to configure a link-local address even when global addresses are available. IPv6 hosts may additionally self-configure additional addresses on receipt of router advertisement messages, thus eliminating the need for a DHCP server. [2]

  5. Link-Local Multicast Name Resolution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link-Local_Multicast_Name...

    The Link-Local Multicast Name Resolution (LLMNR) is a protocol based on the Domain Name System (DNS) packet format that allows both IPv4 and IPv6 hosts to perform name resolution for hosts on the same local link.

  6. Multicast address - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multicast_address

    Interface-local Packets with this destination address may not be sent over any network link, but must remain within the current node; this is the multicast equivalent of the unicast loopback address. ffx2::/16: 224.0.0.0/24: Link-local Packets with this destination address may not be routed anywhere. ffx3::/16: 239.255.0.0/16: Realm-Local scope ...

  7. IPv6 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6

    Once a unique link-local address is established, the IPv6 host determines whether the LAN is connected on this link to any router interface that supports IPv6. It does so by sending out an ICMPv6 router solicitation message to the all-routers [44] multicast group with its link-local address as source. If there is no answer after a predetermined ...

  8. radvd - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radvd

    The Router Advertisement Daemon (radvd) is an open-source software product that implements link-local advertisements of IPv6 router addresses and IPv6 routing prefixes using the Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP) as specified in RFC 2461. [2]

  9. Link-state advertisement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link-state_advertisement

    A Type 8 LSA is used to give information about link-local addresses and a list of IPv6 addresses on the link. In OSPFv2, the Type 8 was originally intended to be used as a so-called External-Attributes-LSA for transit autonomous systems where OSPFv2 could replace the internal Border Gateway Protocol (iBGP).
