Link-local addresses:
Valid only on specific link (LAN), No router node in the Net. (like private Address
In IPv4).

Site-local addresses:
Valid only within a particular organization, Not non in the Internet Net.

Global scope address:
Globally unique, can used anywhere.

Link-local Address can't be Site-local address or Global address, but
Global address can be Site-local or Link-local address.
