you are able to send packets to eth0, set the ip address to 127.0.0.1 Hope that's what your asking.----- Original Message ----- From: "Oliver Zheng" <mailinglists+tcpdump () oliverzheng com>

Hi, Is it possible to send a packet to localhost and have the application receive it? On Linux, there is (at least) lo and eth0. I tried sending a TCP packet to both lo and eth0, however, it seems like the Linux TCP/IP stack and application do not receive the packet. The exact same packet works on Windows (with WinPcap). Is this not possible? Thanks, Oliver - This is the tcpdump-workers list. Visit https://cod.sandelman.ca/ to unsubscribe.
