Subject: Link-local address handling for IPv4

Hi,

Does the Linux kernel network stack do any specific handling of link-local address configuration and handling according to RFC 3927? I know that there is user-level code like Zeroconf / Avahi and these tools create ARP sockets directly on the specified network interfaces in order to support link-local address handling. But if I do not run any of these tools, does the kernel's ARP code take care of this, too?

Thanks,
Anna
