- ms4720 7y agoLoop back address, 127.0.0.1, is really a class A block, 127.0.0.0/8, that only uses 1 address
- MertsA 7y agoYou can use anything from that block as well and there are situations where you might want a different loopback address or multiple loopback addresses. /8 of the public address space is massively excessive though.
