The c-snippet uses 127.x.x.x --> loopback
I think Philipp tested this on real NICs too.
I just proxied this information to this list because I don't have the
indepth knowledge about IP, UDP and the kernel. I had a Chat with Ralf
Baechle and he recommended sending a report to netdev@. Maybe Philipp
can give some more information. He discovered this.
Cheers
Thomas
