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?
If it didn't, how would networking work? It's not like there's some
"reflector box" on every network that will send traffic back to you.
Although a switch might actually do that if you hand it a frame
destined for your own MAC. And for the non-switched case it would
depend on whether or not the NIC(s) recognized their own MAC(s) on
outbound and mirrored them.
