1 is an IP address utilized for a looplock network connection.
What does this mean? If
a user tries to connect to this IP address, they will be sent back to their computer.
The address
is also known as a localhost.
The localhost is the computer.
How the Localhost Works
If the command is relayed to the localhost, you would be hooked up to the system where the
commands were sent out.
For instance, suppose the computer is called “Joker”.
If you telnet
from the Joker computer to the localhost, a message will appear.
It will attempt to hook up to
the localhost.
The localhost is employed in lieu of the computer hostname to be linked to.
This IP address is
the most wisely used localhost address.
However, you can actually use any IP address
provided it starts with 127.
This means 127.

Establishing a connection with the loopback address is similar to creating a connection with
remote network computers.
