Quizplus · Accepted Answer

IPv6 link-local addresses are used for communication between nodes on the same link (e.g., the same local network) and are not routable across subnets or the public Internet. These addresses are automatically configured on interfaces and have a prefix of FE80::/10. They are essential for various network operations, including the Neighbor Discovery Protocol.
