Detailed explanation-1: -Link-local addresses are not guaranteed to be unique beyond their network segment. Therefore, routers do not forward packets with link-local source or destination addresses.
Detailed explanation-2: -Link-local addresses may be assigned manually or automatic operating system procedures. They are assigned most often via autoconfiguration. They are normally only used to assign IP addresses when no mechanism of address configuration exists, such as DHCP, or when another configuration method has failed.
Detailed explanation-3: -Two, or more, machines can have the same link-local address in every context, except the one where they are on the same link-local network. Routers strip off the frame from the packet, losing the link-local addresses, in order to route the packets, so the link-local addresses are confined to the link-local network.
