APIPA/zeroconf

A link-local address is similar to an IPv4 _____________ address in that it is self-generated. The link-local address is guaranteed to be unique.

anycast

A method of addressing groups of computers as though they were a single computer. Anycasting starts by giving a number of computers (or clusters of computers) the same IP address. Advanced routers then send incoming packets to the closest of the computers.
