Explain APIPA?

Submitted by: Murtaza
APIPA stands for Automatic Private IP Addressing:
APIPA is a DHCP fail over mechanism for local networks. With APIPA, DHCP clients can obtain IP addresses when DHCP servers are non-functional.
APIPA exists in all modern versions of Windows except Windows NT.
When a DHCP server fails, APIPA allocates IP addresses in the private range 169.254.0.1 to 162.254.215.194.
