Hmm, let's try something else.
What's the output of :
ip route show

Not completely sure yet, but I would guess link-local would be your
local loopback (ie 127.0.0.1).
Why it would need a route to eth1 with mask 255.255.0.0... no idea.
But I'll be sure of it when you execute that command. It has a bit more
info on what the exact route is, on what device, etc.

No, link-local is the 169.254.x.y auto/random address scheme, for when
there's no DHCP server and the machines pick random unique addresses for
themselves, just so that they each have some IP address.

See: Bonjour or ZeroConf

It seems that Linux still has entries for it in the routing table, even
if you're not currently using that addressing scheme. It's probably
easier to leave them preset, so that no further configuration changes
need making should something connect up using one of those addresses, or
the local machine suddenly started using one, itself.

I did "ip route show" command and I saw that the link-local is 169.254.0.0
