comment:        computers use addresses starting with "169.254." when they do not have a manually configured address or when they are not told which address to use by a service on the network.  they are commonly called the "link local" addresses.
comment:        
comment:        routers are not allowed to forward packets sent from an ipv4 "link local" address, so they are always used by a directly connected device.
comment:        
comment:        these addresses were assigned by the ietf, the organization that develops internet protocols, in the standards track document, rfc3927, which can be found at:
