IPv6: The link local address

IP6 link local address

IPv6 can be confusing if you only have dealt with IPv4 before. This video from Cisco might help to clarify the concept of IPv6 link local address.The voice of the presentation might be too mechanical, but the content is excellent.

 

Aside

Friday humour…

SCIENTISTS AT the National Research Council of New Zealand claim to have discovered a new element. It is the heaviest known to science: Administrarium (Ad). It has no protons or electrons, but it does have one neutron, 125 assistant neutrons, 75 vice neusotrons and 11 assistant vice neutrons.
These particles are held together in a nucleus which involves the continuous exchange of  new particles called morons. Since it has no electrons, the substance is inert, but can he detected chemically since it impedes every reaction it comes in contact with. According to the discoverers, in its natural state, a  minute amount of Administratium caused a reaction to take more than four days to complete, when it would normally occur in under a second.

The element can be found in sometimes huge quantity, and one of the scientist commented ” if we could convert Administrarium into energy we would have an unlimited supply which we could use to reverse climate change.”

One of the Administrarium interesting property is its negative half life of 4 years. This means that the more time passes, the more massive this element becomes.
