The link-local address in IPv6 is a special type of address that is used for communication between nodes on the same link (e.g. the same LAN segment). The link-local address is always in the form of fe80::/64 and has a scope of link-local, meaning that it is not routable beyond the local link.
Link local addresses in IPv6 are those that start with ‘fe80::/10‘. These addresses are used for communication within a single link, such as between two devices connected to the same router.
