Re: A basic question about networking

Tauno,

Thanks for finding time to reply. However, I have a follow up
question:

The Linux TCP/IP protocol stack is smart enough to
route packets addressed to any of the local addresses
via the loopback interface, lo.

Yes, I remember reading that this is the case with using local
loopback address (e.g. 127.0.0.1). Will the same also apply when
client uses a non-loopback address, say 10.63.3.227 to connect to a
server running on the same machine?

Thanks
