IPv6 link-local addresses are addresses that can be used to communicate with nodes for example hosts and routers on an attached link. They are defined by RFC 4291 and have the prefix FE80::/10 and are not routable beyond the local link. These addresses are automatically assigned to devices for local tasks like neighbor discovery and…

The IPv6 format includes unicast, multicast, and anycast address types, providing flexibility in routing…
