Route to 169.254.0.0 - needed ?

Hello,

  Looking at the routes after an install of Fedora Core 6 isee that
there's a route to 169.254.0.0 that's defined (some info removed from
table):

192.168.1.0  *             255.255.255.0 U   eth0
169.254.0.0  *             255.255.0.0   U   eth0
default      myhost.site   0.0.0.0       UG  eth0

  There's a router/gateway at 192.168.1.1 that is used for the
internet.  I don't see the purpose of the 169.254.0.0 route.  Anyone
know why it is defined and for what purposes ?

Thanks,

Al
