Abstract
IPv6 link-local addresses are formed from the prefix fe80::/10 which is followed by 54 "zero" bits, then followed by a 64-bit Interface Identifier. There are multiple methods for generating link-local addresses, and multiple may be in use by nodes on the same link (and sometimes even the same interface) at the same time. This document defines an IPv6 link-local address "Type" field that identifies the type of link-local address being used.
