127.0.0.1 The purpose of the loop back range is testing of the TCP/IP protocol implementation on a host. Since the lower layers are short-circuited, sending to a loop back address allows the higher layers (IP and above) to be effectively tested without the chance of problems at the lower layers manifesting themselves. 127.0.0.1 is the address most commonly used for testing purposes.

Loop Back IP address. Answer : 127.0.0.1 Users can specify an IP address, usually 127.0.0.1, which will point back to the computer's TCP/IP network configuration. The range of addresses for loopback functionality is the range of 127.0.0.0 to 127.255.255.255. Jayesh Sonar 02-11-2015 01:32 AM

Loopback addresses All the addresses from 127.0.0.0 - 127.255.255.255 are loopback addresses. These addresses point to localhost. If you send any data to any of these addresses, it will not be populated on ethernet. CMe 01-20-2014 03:44 PM

Doubt I would like to know what these addresses from 127.0.0.0 - 127.255.255.255 mean. Rohith 09-16-2013 09:02 AM
