Hi Andrea,

the CAN_BCM sets the loopback by default:

http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v4.7.4/net/can/bcm.c#L1229

So it is not configurable by now.

An possibility could be to implement socket options for the CAN_BCM so 
that a setsockopt() with a new CAN_BCM_LOOPBACK becomes available.

But this is not in mainline Linux now.

Alternatively you can check for the fames you received on a CAN_RAW 
socket whether these frames have been created on the local host:

http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v4.7.4/Documentation/networking/can.txt#L632

Which means that you have to use recvmsg() to read from CAN_RAW.

'candump' does it here:
https://github.com/linux-can/can-utils/blob/master/candump.c#L793

Regards,
Oliver
