########
Loopback
########
The loopback interface is a virtual, software-based network interface. All
traffic sent to it loops back and only targets services on the local host.
.. note:: Only one loopback ``lo`` interface is allowed per operating system.
If you require multiple virtual interfaces, use the :ref:`dummy-interface`
interface type.
