<description>
<p>avahi-autoipd implements IPv4LL, "Dynamic Configuration of
IPv4 Link-Local Addresses" (IETF RFC3927), a protocol for
automatic IP address configuration from the link-local
169.254.0.0/16 range without the need for a central server. It
is primarily intended to be used in ad-hoc networks which lack a
DHCP server.</p>
<p>IPv4LL is part of the Zeroconf stack.</p>
<p>avahi-autoipd can be used as stand-alone address allocator
or as plugin for a DHCP client such as ISC's dhclient, where it
can be used as fallback solution if no DHCP server is found.</p>
<p>To allow communication between hosts that have only an IPv4LL
address assigned and hosts that only have a routable IP address
assigned you may add the following routes to both network
configurations:</p>
<p><opt>route add -net 169.254.0.0 netmask 255.255.0.0 dev eth0 metric 99</opt></p>
<p><opt>route add default dev eth0 metric 99</opt></p>
<p>See http://developer.apple.com/qa/qa2004/qa1357.html for more information.</p>
