 \paragraph{IPv4 Link-Local Addressing}
 
-Link-Local Addressing uses the IPv4 subnet 169.254.0.0/16 for addressing. Every
-device first chooses a random address from that address space. Then it checks if
-the chosen address is used by any other device on the network by probing the
-chosen address, which is usually done using the ARP protocol. If the probing
-process results that the address is not used on the network (e.~g. no device
-returned an ARP response during a random time interval), the device claims its
-chosen address and uses it for communication on the IPv4 layer. If the chosen
-address is already used, the device continues the process, subsequently choosing
-a new random address and trying to claim it, until a free address has been
-found.
