Re: A basic question about networking

Hello,

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?

Yes, any local address. For each local address added on an interface a local route is added in the local routing table. Local routes can be displayed with the following command :

$ ip route show type local table local
