What is "local loop back" used in networking.
Created May 7, 2012
Tim Rohaly 127.0.0.1 is a special IP addressed reserved for
the local host, or "loopback address". It refers to the host
on which your program is running. Operating systems
typically implement "network" communications
with the local host by a sort of software short-circuiting
the ethernet hardware, effectively looping back the
connection.
