Link-local Addresses

Link-local addresses, starting with fe80:, are assigned only in the local link area.

The addresses are generated usually automatically by the operating system's IP layer for each network interface. This provides instant automatic network connectivity for any IPv6 host and means that if several hosts connect to a common hub or switch, they have an instant communication path via their link-local IPv6 address.

Link-local addresses cannot be routed to the public Internet.
