169.254.0.0/16 is the "link local" reserved IP block.

The description from RFC 3330:
# 169.254.0.0/16 - This is the "link local" block.  It is allocated for
# communication between hosts on a single link.  Hosts obtain these
# addresses by auto-configuration, such as when a DHCP server may not
# be found.

This block is also used for some of the newer "zero configuration" stuff
(Like Apple's "Rendezvous" technology).
