Fra en gammel TCP/IP bog jeg har :

127.0.0.1 is the address of the "loopback device".  This  is  a  dummy
software  module.  Any datagram sent out through that "device" appears
immediately as input.  It can be  used  for  testing.    The  loopback
address  can  also  handy for talking to applications that are on your
own computer.  (Why bother to use your network to talk  to  a  program
that is on the same machine you are?)

127.0.0.1 sættes ofte lig med navnet "local host" og med maskinens eget
navn (host.domain) i HOSTS-filen - dette gør det nemmere at finde sig
selv, hvad der jo ikke altid er så nemt :)
