Link Local Address is used for communication with in a router, if you want to communicate outside your router you need to use site local address.
The difference between a link and an interface is the protocol used.
An IPv6 device is automatically assigned a link-local address, which is a type of address that is used for communication within a local network segment. This address is generated using the device's MAC address and the prefix "FE80::/10". Link-local addresses are essential for functions such as neighbor discovery and are not routable beyond the local link.
The IPv6 prefix reserved for communication between devices on the same link is the link-local address prefix, which is FE80::/10. This range includes addresses from FE80:: to FEBF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF. Link-local addresses are used for network communication within the local subnet and are automatically configured on IPv6-enabled interfaces.

No, the source link-layer address does not define the network; it identifies the specific device within a local network. Link-layer addresses, such as MAC addresses, are used for communication within the same local area network (LAN) and are not routable across different networks. The network itself is typically defined by its IP address range or subnet, which facilitates routing between different networks.
The address 169.254.10.1 is an example of a link-local IP address, specifically from the IPv4 range 169.254.0.1 to 169.254.255.254. This range is automatically assigned to devices when they cannot obtain a valid IP address from a DHCP server, allowing for basic communication within a local network. Link-local addresses are not routable and are typically used for local network configurations and troubleshooting.
The IPv4 address 169.254.32.23 is an example of a link-local address, specifically within the Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) range. This range spans from 169.254.0.1 to 169.254.255.254 and is used when a device on a local network cannot obtain an IP address from a DHCP server. Link-local addresses are not routable on the internet and are intended for communication within the local network segment.
A link is what you click on on your computer. A menu is what you get when you're at a resturaunt.

link-local address
The IPv6 address that is required for other computers on a local network to communicate with each other is, the "Link-local address". The first hextet will always begin with FE80.
DNS gives out IP address for domain names (among other things) so when you type Google (see related link) into the address bar your computer will resolve that to an IP address and then go to the IP address. HTTP is a protocol for delivering webpaeges.
