Unlike IPv4, IPv6 is designed to have multiple addresses.<br>
<br>
<link> is a link-local IPv6 address. Think of this like <a href="http://169.254.0.0/16" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">169.254.0.0/16</a>, <br>
the "things arn't working" link-only IPv4 addresses you get when DHCP <br>
isn't working, or your router is offline. Except it's actually usable to <br>
talk to local network devices, like routers, NAS, etc.<br>
<br>
<global> is your actual routable IPv6 address. This is the address used <br>
when talking to devices on other networks, and is actually routable back <br>
to you.<br>
