Can you please not keep creating new top level threads.
Furthermore, this is not an appropriate mailing list to discuss any
general (not even Linux) networking issues that you may have. It's
more appropriate for a venue such as stackoverflow.
Rich.
I am unsure of the standards for this. I am also curious about the
Fedora implementation. I would suspect that the loopback mechanism
would be implementation dependent, and that the method used on a
particular system would provide valuable information.
A usergroup such as stackoverflow would not likely have that
information. Therefore this would seem to be the most accurate source
for such information IMO.
A short and reasonable answer would be beneficial to the group.
