link-local-address

link-local-address is a Rust library for managing link-local IPv4 addresses. It automatically scans for available addresses, avoiding conflicts and ensuring smooth local network communication.

Features

Dynamic assignment: Assigns link-local IPv4 addresses dynamically.
Network scanning: Scans the network to find free addresses.
ARP-based conflict prevention: Prevents conflicts using ARP-based probing.
Batch allocation: Supports batch allocation for efficient address management.
Asynchronous and configurable: Fully asynchronous and configurable.
Unix-only: This crate is designed for Unix-based systems (Linux, macOS, BSD).

Planned Features

IPv6 support: Future versions will extend functionality to support link-local IPv6 addresses.

When to Use

Setting up ad-hoc or peer-to-peer networks
Assigning IPs without relying on DHCP
Avoiding IP conflicts in local networking environments
