Explanation
These addresses are used on a single link or a non-routed common access network, such as an Ethernet LAN.
They do not need to be unique outside of that link.
Link-local addresses may appear as the source or destination of an IPv6 packet.
Routers must not forward IPv6 packets if the source or destination contains a link-local address.
