2 * INET An implementation of the TCP/IP protocol suite for the LINUX
3 * operating system. INET is implemented using the BSD Socket
4 * interface as the means of communication with the user level.
6 * Pseudo-driver for the loopback interface.
8 * Version: @(#)loopback.c 1.0.4b 08/16/93
11 * Fred N. van Kempen, <waltje@uWalt.NL.Mugnet.ORG>
12 * Donald Becker, <becker@scyld.com>
14 * Alan Cox : Fixed oddments for NET3.014
15 * Alan Cox : Rejig for NET3.029 snap #3
16 * Alan Cox : Fixed NET3.029 bugs and sped up
17 * Larry McVoy : Tiny tweak to double performance
18 * Alan Cox : Backed out LMV's tweak - the linux mm
20 * Michael Griffith: Don't bother computing the checksums
21 * on packets received on the loopback
23 * Alexey Kuznetsov: Potential hang under some extreme
