Documentation for 169.254?

2001-10-27 20:00:02

Sorry to barge in with a technical, standards-related question. It
seems that there is a common practice that when a host asks for an
IPv4 address, such as through DHCP, but the host isn't attached to
the network, that the software gives it an address of 169.254.x.y. Is
this documented in any RFC? Should it be?
