Abstract

IPv6 Link-Local addresses can be used by applications. Doing so when possible will provide robustness and security benefits to the application. This memo describes the properties of Link-Local addresses and the benefits and limitations of using them in applications. It then describes how to use them in applications that use the Sockets API.
