Using the Loopback Interface for Debugging. | |
Interfaces are used for communication between two network nodes.
Physical interfaces can be either Ethernet, WiFi or a serial connection (used for PPP and SLIP). For debugging purposes, the Loopback interface can be used.
Common Interface functions are available that can be used for all these interfaces for retrieving or setting interface specific options.
