Loop back address:

1. It is a special IP number 127.0.0.1. It is used with a ping command

2. It is used to test the TCP/IP on the computer

3. It is an outgoing signal that is sent to the computer itself for testing i.e. it tells the information regarding your pc itself

4. When we use ping 127.0.0.1 instead of going out of the network it loop backs to your pc itself
