Feels like an ad piece for <you know who if you read the article>. Loops in IP routing are a pretty well researched topic and AFAIK practices to avoid them are on most network professional cerficiation exams. Microloops during convergence are even an active topic of research. Also, just to be clear, a loop can only bring down systems involved in it, you can't use it as a "packet accelerator". (Unless something is seriously borked, or you have a multicast loop.)
