Java.Net.InetAddress.IsLinkLocalAddress Property
Returns whether this address is a link-local address or not.

Syntax

[get: Android.Runtime.Register("isLinkLocalAddress", "()Z", "GetIsLinkLocalAddressHandler")]
public virtual bool IsLinkLocalAddress { get; }

Value

Documentation for this section has not yet been entered.

Remarks

Returns whether this address is a link-local address or not.

Valid IPv6 link-local addresses have the prefix fe80::/10.

"Default Address Selection for Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6)" states that both IPv4 auto-configuration addresses (prefix 169.254/16) and IPv4 loopback addresses (prefix 127/8) have link-local scope, but Java.Net.Inet4Address only considers the auto-configuration addresses to have link-local scope. That is: the IPv4 loopback address returns false.
