which would of course preclude using that or any other domain ending with .local. Microsoft TechNet article 708159 [7] suggested .local for the exact opposite reason: Using the .local label for the full DNS name for the internal domain is a more secure configuration because the .local label is not registered for use on the Internet.
Using a link-local address, hosts can communicate over this link but only locally; Access to other networks and the Internet is not possible. There are some link-local IPv4 address implementations available: Apple Mac OS and MS Windows have supported link-local addresses since Windows 98 and Mac OS 8.5 (both released in 1998). [1]
The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) has reserved the IPv4 address block 169.254.0.0 / 16 (169.254.0.0 – 169.254.255.255) for link-local addressing. [1] The entire range may be used for this purpose, except for the first 256 and last 256 addresses (169.254.0.0 / 24 and 169.254.255.0 / 24), which are reserved for future use and must not be selected by a host using this dynamic ...

In a home or small office environment, the default gateway is a device, such as a DSL router or cable router, that connects the local network to the Internet.

Local port forwarding is the most common type of port forwarding. It is used to let a user connect from the local computer to another server, i.e. forward data securely from another client application running on the same computer as a Secure Shell (SSH) client. By using local port forwarding, firewalls that block certain web pages, can be ...
The Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP), or simply Neighbor Discovery (ND), is a protocol of the Internet protocol suite used with Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6). [1]: §1 It operates at the internet layer of the Internet model, [2] and is responsible for gathering various information required for network communication, including the configuration of local connections and the domain name ...
When a frame is sent to a device not on the local network, the gateway's MAC address is used in the frame header. The gateway address must be configured on each host. The network host IP interface binds the gateway address to the MAC address of the physical gateway by broadcasting IP datagrams and caching the MAC address of the reply from the ...
