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:
