* Applies to: IPv4
Notes:
* Link-local address: none
* Manual addresses: forbidden
* Dynamic global address: none
* Shared networking: none


=== Link-local ===
* Even when IPv4 is in the disabled state, the network interface communicates on the L2 level.
 
* There's no disable method for IPv6 and its semantics is unclear (whether disable means the same as link-local, or it also applies to the link-local address which is unaffected in all other methods).
* Applies to: IPv4, IPv6 (the semantics currently differ)
* The usage of IPv4 and IPv6 link-local addresses substatially differs. While IPv6 uses link-local addresses for *all* methods, IPv4 only uses it for the special link-local method.
* Link-local address: userspace (IPv4), kernel (IPv6)
* The IPv4 disable and IPv4/manual methods only differ in the number of addresses (0 versus >=1), therefore one of them is redundant.
* Manual addresses: ?
* The IPv6 link-local and IPv6/manual methods only differ in the number of addresses (0 versus >=1), therefore one of them is redundant.
* Dynamic global address: none
* The IPv6 dhcp method is currently defunct.
* Shared networking: none
* There's no IPv6 shared method, yet.
 
=== Manual ===
 
* Applies to: IPv4, IPv6
* Link-local address: userspace (IPv4), kernel (IPv6)
* Manual addresses: allowed
* Dynamic global address: none
* Shared networking: none
 
=== Auto ===
 
* Applies to: IPv4, IPv6
* Link-local address: none (IPv4) or kernel (IPv6)
* Manual addresses: allowed
* Dynamic global address: dhcp (IPv4), ra+dhcp (IPv6
* Shared networking: none
 
=== Shared ===
 
* Applies to: IPv4
* Link-local address: none
* Manual addresses: ?
* Dynamic global address: none

Notes:

  • Even when IPv4 is in the disabled state, the network interface communicates on the L2 level.
  • There's no disable method for IPv6 and its semantics is unclear (whether disable means the same as link-local, or it also applies to the link-local address which is unaffected in all other methods).
  • The usage of IPv4 and IPv6 link-local addresses substatially differs. While IPv6 uses link-local addresses for *all* methods, IPv4 only uses it for the special link-local method.
  • The IPv4 disable and IPv4/manual methods only differ in the number of addresses (0 versus >=1), therefore one of them is redundant.
  • The IPv6 link-local and IPv6/manual methods only differ in the number of addresses (0 versus >=1), therefore one of them is redundant.
  • The IPv6 dhcp method is currently defunct.
  • There's no IPv6 shared method, yet.
